My heart is so full, but broken at the same time.
My youngest daughter received a post card from Ohfor today. The postmark is just a few days prior to his death. She keeps them in a special box, treasured mementos that began arriving regularly when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor just over two years ago.
This precious man took the time to send my daughter sweet notes from all over the world during a time when our world felt like it was spinning out of control. What I assumed was the last of his postcards to her arrived right around the time of his death. Selfishly, I’ve been hoping and praying there might be one more.
And tonight, there it was.
She got back in the car after checking the mail and said... There’s another cool post card from the man with the strange nickname that sends cards from all over the world.
My heart skipped a beat or two. I hadn’t told her that he passed away. But I did tonight.
And we added his sweet post card to the collection from the last two years.
I miss him so. 😢

I needed that today. Thank you for sharing.
How beautiful.
There is NO need to have that “one last conversation” with a toxic individual in your life.” The closure will come when you look deeper inside yourself. It’s not your job to fix someone when they are unwilling to fix themselves.
