LYNN GENDUSA: Don’t Allow Joy to End

4 days ago | mdjonline.com | Lynn Gendusa

It is officially summer! Graduations, celebrations, reunions, and picnics are taking place all over America. Watermelons are ripening, and corn grows tall in the sunshine. I always view this season as one made for children. They can laugh freely, run with wild abandon, and embrace their imaginations. If adults did the same, we would spread more joy. My granddaughter recently visited on her way home to Florida after finishing her sophomore year of college.

A hero’s silenced laughter

In the winter of 1960, snow fell gently from the gray skies over McMinnville, Tennessee. The ground was so frigid that each lacy flake was determined not to melt, no matter where it landed. Quickly, school buses filled with kids, taking them home. Mittens, boots, and layers replaced dresses and jeans just as quickly. Good snow meant sledding down many hills in our little town east of Nashville, a shared joy that united us. When one hill was too packed with kids, it was easy to locate another.

My mother, Elizabeth, passed away almost 15 years ago, but her presence is still vivid in my life. When I converse with others who have experienced a similar loss, we all echo the same sentiment. We find solace in the cherished memories they left us and the enduring effects of their love. My dreams often bring my mother back to me, offering comfort and reassurance. Sometimes, I wake up feeling a pang of sadness, wishing that the dream was a reality and she was still with me.

Opening our eyes

Have you ever taken a moment to appreciate the immediate joy that comes from a kitten’s purr, a bird’s song, or a baby’s laughter? The sheer happiness of a dog reuniting with its owner, whether apart for an hour or an entire year, creates a small, powerful moment. Do you find comfort in a familiar song or feel a deep appreciation for nature when you see flowers reaching for the sun? Nothing compares to the warmth of a friend’s hug or the reassurance of an “I love you” to lift our spirits.
