Chaos as an Invitation to Love
So I bet you’d rather NOT get an invitation from “chaos,” even if it is to remember love.

#1 Love unites, fear separates.

I’d have plenty of time to go home, change and attend the visitation at the local funeral home that evening. All was good. Or so I thought.
But Life happened. We were late leaving the house, there was a problem with lunch, I couldn’t find all the items I wanted,...
