I've often posted that I'm happiest when those I love are happy. Well, I'm most sad when those I love are sad. The past week has been a roller coaster of events for friends. I've experienced joy with some and sadness with others.
One friend found out some devastating news early this week. Another is starting a new life with the man she loves. Another is experiencing the agony of the death of a loved one.
I think about their faces and what is seen there. The high of emotions of excitement in showing the diamond on her finger last night for one. I don't think I've ever seen anyone that thrilled. Her face glowed with happiness! The grief of another this morning over death etched upon her face. Exhaustion, confusion, sadness and so much more in her eyes.
The third? I haven't seen yet. She doesn't live nearby and I don't think she is ready for a visit. I'm not sure what I will or can say to convey empathy for what she is going though. I hope I can. I hope I can for all. Good or bad.
