tenderness

I had this picture on my desk for many years, and I love the picture of tenderness portrayed. 

I am sending you much love as you all grieve Elliot's passing

 and are full of longings to be home to comfort your mom... 

I wish we could be there with you all to cry with you and hug you tight. 

be gentle with yourselves... we will be praying for tenderness, comfort and grace...
