kathryn gauze of golden waves we hardly had time to swallow the thing which made most sense she was rich black soil transplanting spring's sun creating magik from the middle of nowhere a sister of music with words painter of prose how beautifully she embraced her space in life salvaging great light from past transitions her throat fumbled formal apologies within green lawns of home baked cookies her season's passing still shower us like a humming bird dripping nectar through clusters of gardens she packed love in our lunches everyday wrapping us in scarves of hopscotch & flowers sending us skipping down the street with diamonds in our pockets the album opens she appears in a white dress her flowers bloom again there will be a goodness in life sorely missed thank you Leslie |

Lee, all the love that she has shown you over the years, will continue to blossom and grow ~ as will you, yourself. You done did her proud, girl! ![]() My love and deepest sympathies are with you. You are strong ~ as was she. May you experience the peace that she has found ~ but hopefully you do not have to join her in heaven, to find it. Wrapping my arms around you, Love Linda btw, that was one mighty fine heart spill ~ for a mighty fine woman! ![]() |

obviously a finely personal, heart-felt, and powerfully emotive 'write!' [the type of 'penning' I could never do...but, I grandly admire those who can!] sustained applause!! |

Lee, I am so very sorry for your loss. However, I know that if you could write such a moving and beautiful tribute to your mom, that you understand so much more than many of us (especially me) have yet to learn. I am, however, very deeply happy that you had such a wonderful relationship with your mother. That must be very, very special and I am sure it will carry you through many trials and tribulations. Hugs, tears and love - Owl |
