Parents At Embercombe

I just found out that Mum and Dad visited Embercombe earlier today. I do not want to use tons of exclamation marks but this is made me very happy. I literally gasped out loud with joy when I read the first sentence in Mum's email to me. I loved observing my different reactions of reading about Mum and Dad meeting various Embercombe people. Jana was the first one :D She was in the kitchen. (Not in a super sad way, but - I miss her so much now.) I liked picturing Mum and Dad walking around Embercombe with Jana - down to the lake, in her yurt, around the dinning yurt, through the garden!!
I forget at what point in reading Mum's email I started crying, but that I did. Happy tears for sure.
I giggled when I heard that they met Eamon (who is doing the Journey - good for him!), awed when Mum mentioned Ruth, and tensed up as my body said "oh good" when I read that they had tea with Fiona and Asha.
They bought something at the corner market - of course they did! And by "came in the way you first did" I think they mean the 2 mile walk. Good for them. They walked in my footsteps ~
I was so nice to hear they made it to Embercombe, something, even though I suggested it I did not actually think would happen because of logistics. Reading about them being there and picturing that, made me realize that I may want to go back someday - which I was not sure about before.
Simon. They met Simon. All of these paths that crossed - my worlds blended today while I was on Guilford campus. Hehe.
By the end of the email I wanted to cry and feel my body pulsing under the rhythm of tears but the tears stopped shortly. The email where Mum describes her and Dad's visit to Embercombe is SO special to me. A good reminder of a lot of things. Glad some aspects of my life mixed , good timing.

Tried to catch the evidence of happy tears but it didn't come out so well.

So I decided to try and visually express what may have prompted the happy tears.
