This photo was taken last weekend in my parent's back yard, the day of my grandfather's funeral. I was feeling so many conflicted, difficult emotions, and then I found this lovely bundle of flowers growing up the fence.
Heaven is the hope that flowers can bloom after all the rain, even after the floods. Heaven is found in the simple yet unique beauty in our own backyards, small gifts of color and life in often unexpected places. Heaven is reaching for the sunlight, upwards and onwards, even when you're cemented in dirt.
