44. You are putting good back into the world even as you grieve, Lucky.

You are an Angel to that woman with the downed tree limbs. Trust me…I know this. I have someone coming to my house later today for an electrical issue. He and his wife are good friends and he helps me out when he can. He’s a retired electrician and animal lover - both of them are. I love and appreciate them for helping me.

Like you, I’m a Christian but not a mainstream one. I think it’s only natural to think of one’s faith when something horrible happens.

You are correct to do whatever you need to get through this. There is no right or wrong. Just what you need to help you. I just want you to be okay.
