Respite

I went to a beautiful wedding of a coworker this past weekend. It was a great testament to love and forever. It was also a wonderful reprieve from-well, everything. I got the chance to release stress, laugh and spend some time with my brother. (When did he grow up?!) I was given little nuggets of happiness throughout the evening and even managed genuine smiles; as opposed to the ones I wear when I leave the sanctuary of my home. I felt a little more me and I've missed that me. I pray she gets to stay around a little longer because Daniel never did like to see me sad.
