Today was a difficult day. A memorial service for a coworker, a friend, taken much to soon. Several friends came to my house prior to the service and we drove to the church together. We sat in the pews, listened to beautiful words spoken by family and friends, and passed a tissue box between us. After the memorial we drove back to my house together. We had food and shared stories; we shared hugs, smiles, and laughs.
Today was a hard day to experience. What made it slightly less difficult was the strength I found in the others around me. I never truly understood the phrase, "strength in numbers" until today. And I am grateful to have experienced the power of those words.
