I stand on the sand, and I'm rocking grief to sleep in my arms.

Krista

three months ago i cut off my hair to honor her. earlier this year i framed this and one other painting for her to look at as she sat in the recliner by the window in her sister's living room. yesterday i cried when her sister said, "we're very pleased," as she let me know krista had passed at last. because the diagnosis of the cancer in the liver was only made about two weeks ago and the prognosis had been for a month or two. but lord the woman was ready to go be with her son, her brother and other loved ones she'd missed for years. and she'd suffered enough.

courage, strength, kindness. intelligence, fortitude, courage. Love. what a remarkable woman left this planet yesterday.

Krista i will miss you, and celebrate for you. love always
amen
