Is there anything more healing than simple kindnesses?

I’m grateful for the pre- and post-ACL surgery outpouring of kind words, gestures (food!) and thoughts I’ve gotten by phone, social media message, in-person. They go far, and I feel them.

And I wouldn’t be functioning without Rémy’s simple kindnesses – helping me navigate the car, the bed, the dog beds, the dogs, the shower, the kitchen, the steps out back, the couch, the ice packs.

I’m humbled by how hard the simple things around the house feel right now. I’m humbled by my need to ask for help. And I’m humbled by all the simple kindnesses that keep coming my way.

Sending love.
