Sometimes I think it’s so sad that we can carry our sorrows in our pockets and they follow us everywhere. But sometimes I also think that in a very strange way, it’s rather beautiful. And I know this may sound bizarre, but keeping it safe and close brings me a dark comfort. I can’t explain this feeling any other way. The years pass, but grief keeps me company. And there are times when that company is welcome.
That reminds me of a pastor I saw years ago who said sometimes we enjoy the familiarity of sorrow, that we like to go back and “dip into it,” and I find that I do that. Dip right into it so we don’t forget it had meaning.
