An amazing aspect of kindness is that it is often completely unexpected. This beautiful memory is an example of just that.
I have only known Linda for a very short time. Among other things, she is a fabulous clogger, but her compassion, caring and sensitivity are what I will always appreciate more than anything.
Just when you think your heart is broken beyond repair, something happens that helps you know that you will go on, that life will get better and that people genuinely care. Through Merlin's passing, we have been reminded of this by the actions and words of so many people, Linda being one of them.
John Dunne wrote, "No man is an island." When we feel most alone and isolated, we find ourselves surrounded by others who prop us up, help us out, and mend our injured hearts and souls. This is one of the miracles of friendship.
To everyone (especially Janet, Maddie, Linda, Drs. Bittacker and Spann) who has been there for Ken and me during this difficult time - and who will, I know, continue to be present in our lives - bless you for reaching out to us. You will never know how much it means to us.
Onward, in the comfort of family, friends and, of course, our beautiful girl, DeeDee, (see picture below), without whom our house would not be a home.
