The bustle in the house
The morning after death
Is the solemnest of industries
Enacted upon Earth.
The sweeping up the heart
And putting love away
We shall not want to use again
Until eternity.
~Emily Dickinson

Kathy, I’ve been disconnected for a few weeks due to a computer crash and traveling. Not sure what is going on with you but know you are in my thoughts and prayers. (hug)
Home now and hoping to get caught up with self & writing.
