I ran across these pictures from our Florida trip in September - Kate is dancing in the pouring rain during our vacation. I remember watching her and feeling so torn. I was laughing at her joy and excitement for the rain - such a special thing for Texans who were still enduring a draught back home - but my heart could not be completely joyful. In those very same moments devastating fires were raging all over the hill country. It was so hard to enjoy the rain when our hearts were so heavy and our minds anxious for news. It was truly bittersweet.
