Once Again Whole

I did not recognize the phone number, but I was filled with a sense of dread when I noticed the area code. I let it go to voice mail. 

It was Martin’s sister letting me know that you passed away this morning, she said you died from a broken heart. I was grateful that she did not say suicide because I was not sure how much more your family could take, it is difficult enough losing you but at least they do not have to feel any kind of guilt or what did I miss as they had to with Mason and Amy deaths. 

My heart was filled with so much gratitude and love that she would reach out to me.

Today I am going to find gratitude that a small loving family is once again whole.
