I ran across this quote last week; sorry to have a use for it so soon :(
We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle; easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we would still live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan.

Long before I was a wife and mother I wanted to spend my life as a storyteller. I try to do that with words and pictures because when I write, shoot photos, draw or paint I show my eye what my heart sees. That, to me, is what stories are meant to do, try to get at the heart of the matter.
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

We are so sorry. :-( Our thoughts are with you as you say goodbye to Mardi
Thanks dear friend. It happened so fast (kidneys) and it feels like a punch in the gut, but he's at ease now. Thanks.
I'm so sorry ... it's so sad when it happens and yet I'm glad it was fast. Take care of you.
Thank you, Di, ;0. We toasted his memory at dinner last evening and just feel happy he'd been with us so long and relieved he was out of his pain.
