You offered them the living water that helps with the weight of tears.

"The community owns the weight of the water, not just the caregivers...". Beautiful. This is what I am working towards; how to show communities the weight of what they ask others to carry-soldiers, healthcare providers, first responders, etc- and to invite them to carry some of it themselves. To own their part. To witness. Thank you for your writing.

Beautiful. It brings to mind the NT story of the friends that each take a corner of a mat to get their friend in front of Jesus. None of us can carry the weight alone. Thank you for your wisdom, and grace.
