There are so many layers to explore...it was a very good idea to break it into sections. When I look at your work, what I admire most is your courage. Not just your courage to transform your very painful memories into beauty and meaning, though that is important. But the courage to go to new places without having a road map; to give up your story one bead at a time and sew them down knowing that you can't have them back again; to make a new blossom from the one that you lost; to write a new story from the old one...and give it a happy ending. It is what we must all do when we lose someone we love. We're left to transform that love and those memories into something meaningful, something that adds to our foundation, making us more than we were without them. I enjoyed getting to know you and your sister, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing your next chapter. You've done an absolutely wonderfully spectacular job. I hope you're smiling because you should be. It's beautiful. Much love, SusanSusan Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094024834053351944noreply@blogger.com
