A steady heart.

The first hands that hold us often belong to our mother and father. For the first years of our lives, theirs is the patient embrace that provides a safe space for us to grow. As we get older, we may find ourselves reaching for others - the warm hand of a friend who shares your interests and the unexpected hand of someone who sees your soul.

Life has a way of throwing you for a loop. You never know quite what to expect and there are so many things that we can't control. But in all the chaos and confusion, in the midst of anxiety, what a wonderful thing it is to find a warm hand at the end of the day. A familiar touch, a steady heartbeat, the knowledge that the one holding you has seen you.

Congratulations to Connor and Delaney. Our hope and prayer is that you continue to share your warmth and light with the people who come into your lives.

With love,

Grace
