Visiting San Francisco, I took a long walk through the magnificent Presidio to clear my head after some more tragic news from my beloved Ukraine. I entered what seemed like a magical forest and found a bench waiting for me. I sat and cried and prayed. It was deeply healing. As I got up to leave I noticed the dedication plague and quickly calculated Aaron’s age. I cried some more realizing that life’s injustices come in many forms. May all our loved ones find peace on the afterlife. May the beauty of nature remind us that there is a higher power.
Thank you for sharing a healing bench.
