A good friend brings three stems of tulips in a vase to share some Valentines joy with my family, and we are touched.
It reminded me of the few weeks in the early days of the pandemic, in which sketching the tulips sprouting from the ground every day brought a sense of calm and groundedness that I craved during an especially trying time in the spring of 2020. By the grace of God, extended to us through the kindness of friends like this, I am grateful in being able to say I am in a completely different place today.
