A year ago...

This time last year

I was frozen,

right along with the ice storm

that delayed Rob's memorial service

until well into the spring.

This year 

I am thawing out

and feeling now what could not be felt

until it was time to feel it.

I could not know then what I know now,

and I am so grateful I didn't have to.

Thawing happens only under the right conditions.

Today I can feel just a hint of Spring starting
to happen in my heart and soul.

And
"It is well..."
there.
