you hug me tight,
hold my hand tight.
we sit side by side,
knowing we've done the right thing;
seeing the joy on one face across the table,
the slight discomfort on the other.
our two wonderful kiddos, one at each end,
witnesses to forgiveness offered across a table.
this night is good,
full of mercy and grace.
Hello from Southeastern Montana!
I am Elizabeth Patten. I spent the first 34 years of my life in Minnesota. In 2015, I moved with my husband and two children to the western-most part of South Dakota and then into Montana. Now, I live, work, write, play, and breathe under the big, big Montana sky. I began this blog in September of 2008 to make note of the sunshine that can (almost) always be found.
