We packed a picnic lunch and went to the mountains today. Helena, my friend's mother is visiting. Three years ago her daughter passed away on Christmas Day. Since then, understandably, she has been very depressed.
This visit, however, everyone noticed a change in her. It seems that Time has finally partially healed her broken heart. The drive out to the mountains was exciting and fun for her! She took hundreds of pictures and giggled as she took them.
She said her life was wonderful and she was so happy to be out in her beloved "narava", Croatian for nature. On the way home she wished she could see a deer, and then just ten minutes into the drive, as if on cue, out popped a deer!
It was close enough to the road that she could talk to it. Softly she said, "I love you sweetheart". The deer stared into Helena's eyes for a moment and then slowly walked back into the forest. Dear Helena was so thrilled. Thank goodness she is finally happy again.Thank goodness, as well, that we didn't give up on her. She will, of course, always miss her daughter, but at least for now she was able to smile and feel joy again.
