Such a beautiful post, MB. This morning on my way to work I saw this gorgeous pile of leaves-- ig and brightly colored reds, oranges, yellows. They were still falling around me. It was such a gorgeous sight and it made me think that there can be beauty even in tragedy, and that it is the cycle of life that things die, but also that, in time, there is renewal and regrowth. It sounds like you are entering your "spring".
