she's going to live with my sister-in-law . . .
and i'm listening for the music in today . . . it's very faint and hard to hear . . . but it's there, in my kids' imaginations, in my dad saying "i love you" before he hung up the phone, in the way my mind turns for rest in Jesus, in my husband's fingers and his kiss . . . there is music in today . . . even if i have to listen hard to hear it . . .
and maybe tomorrow, just maybe, it won't be quite so faint.
