I bought this hat in my dad’s hometown, many years ago. It has always been my favorite hat. For years, it’s been my constant reminder of his beautiful and tragic life. Today, after walking 336 miles on the Camino de Santiago, I left it at the foot of a very big cross.
I don’t feel much like writing today.
My guess is you left more than the hat. It was a symbol of what you were able to leave behind from all those things that were completely out of your control as a child. You placed that hat exactly where it was intended to be all along. Much love has been given to you now and much, much more do you give away. God is speaking and you are listening. Peace to you, our friend.
May God give you healing and strength in His time and peace & rest while you wait.
