A Little Jizo and Grief Story

I received this note from one of our peeps, who collects my Jizos.

“I gave one of your pendants to a friend.  She wore it constantly while her mom was sick and dying from a brain tumour. She said that by wearing it, it did indeed help to keep her grounded and granted her some inner peace. I’d say that you’re leaving quite a good trail of footprints on the web for all that seek it and are ready to follow to wherever the journey leads. Thank you again Valerie.”

I hope I am leaving footprints so that people who need Jizo’s solace may find it.  I know that grief is often a lonely place.
