She was walking their dog on the usual path. There were always grasshoppers jumping out of the way on the sidewalk.
Her husband had died. This particular day was the second anniversary of her husband’s transition, and she was walking and crying and wishing for the simple pleasure of holding his hand.
At that very moment, a grasshopper jumped into her hand! The grasshopper stayed there a while before hopping off.
She felt a calm and peace come over her, along with a big smile on her face. For that brief moment she felt the connection of holding his hand. It was a moment of sheer joy!
