A Little Note of Love

This post takes a step outside of my gratitude project. I didn't know how to incorporate it into something I'm thankful for today when really my heart feels heavy over its loss.

Early this morning, my friend Dave passed away from cancer. My heart hurts, but I really do believe that there is something better for him now than a hospital bed and a heavy cough.

I'm trying to find the gratitude in the loss. And I find myself feeling grateful for his companionship, for his bluntness, and for the fact that I had him in my life, even for a short time. Finally, I'm grateful for someone up there giving me that dream about him last night. And I know he's okay.
