Hope?

I don't think a plate of rice and beans has ever made me cry before, but these did today. Our neighbours who we were with when their son drowned, have cut us off since then and the rejection has been extremely painful. We used to see them all the time but for the past 5 months they've told us not to visit because we are a reminder of that awful day.

They gave us this food for lunch. I couldn't believe it. We were all so happy and thankful that it looks like a thaw night be starting. But tears too as it made me realise again how very ongoingly sad it has been.
