So I have this app on my iPhone called theChive that I peruse as the mood strikes. The app has a ton of categories with pictures of women, food, alcohol, military, and generally interesting things.
As I was waiting for my bagel to toast this morning I opened it up and came across one post about a Disney illustrator named Gary Andrews who recently lost his wife and how he has been coping with the grief and helping his children through the process by drawing daily doodles that are emotional messages to his wife.
I recommend doing a search on twitter for this hash tag but be prepared to shed a few tears, I shed more than a few this morning and feel some more coming on again as I write this post.
Here is the link I found: https://twitter.com/hashtag/doodleaday
My heart goes out to Gary and his children but I'm sure his daily doodles are helping someone deal with a loss of their own as well as helping him and his family take a fresh step every morning.
I don't have the pleasure of knowing Gary firsthand but think that sharing a pint with him would end up making me a better person for it.
The last doodle shown in the posting shows Gary and his children sitting side by side looking up at a shining star with the caption "Love Always"..............better words were never spoken
