September 22 {The Promise}

The promise was never that we would not have reason to cry --
it was that when we did, we would be held.

The promise was never that we would never hurt or suffer --
it was that when we did, we would not be alone.

September 22 will, for the rest of my life, be a day that shines in my memory.
Yes, there were tears. But there was so much goodness and beauty, too.
