“O, to be sure, we laugh less and play less and wear uncomfortable disguises like adults, but beneath the costume is the child we always are, whose needs are simple.” – Leo Roslen
“Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return.” – Peace Pilgrim
“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I’ve lived a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.” – Nicholas Sparks
“The most profound but simple human need is unconditional Love.” ~ Sue Rosenbloom

imeluny thank you so much for this post. I’m so sorry about the loss of your brother. Grief is such a penrsoal experience that often lasts much longer than we anticipate, I think. As I’ve experienced loss, I often think about what it means to be made whole (through Christ’s sacrifice). I’m not sure that I’ll ever entirely understand how redemption works (at least in this life), but I agree that it takes an openness to experiencing relationships / emotions / moments in a different way than we expected, and trusting that there may be better things to come.
