Samuel in “Acceptance”

Samuel

This is my favorite part of the day. It's full of possibility, before the inevitable monkey wrenches come looking for us. But more than anything, it's about being with all of you. I know grace is a supper thing; but every morning, I thank heaven and earth for our family. Sadly, Joseph's death has left us an empty seat, a broken circle. But I feel like we're on the way to mend it. There are lost lambs out there. They're like us, but they're hiding, alone, pretending to be that, which they are not. It's sad, pathetic. These people, they desperately need what we have - understanding, unconditional love, family, trust. Who are we to deny anyone that? Today is an important day for us, our family; and for one of them, too. Because by day's end, we will have a full table again. Eat.
