With the death of my mother and sister all in the same month, twenty-seven days a part...two funerals...two of everything... "And yet I'm still here, and growing, holding on."
along dark, arm-strecthed roads trees feather with despair along desolate, coil-laced valleys rocks search with regret along curtain, wrinkle-fold hills grass malts with tears along pregnant, bayou-swamped streams death swims with life along orchards, ancient-faced magnolia trees perfume air scents with silence along yarns, heaven-lined mardi gras skies sadness crawls with fainting crescent clouds along long, hope-drained sanctuary halls seeds yield weary strange fruit along webs, silk-strung lights tryanny wrecks with confessions of abandoment And yet I'm still here, and growing

AND writing THE most beautiful and moving poetry~!! I feel for you!! To lose one person you love is devastating beyond description. To lose more. . .you are one brave lady! You will not only hang in and hold on, you will t r i u m p h. Already compassionate and empathetic, you will step onto ever-higher levels. So many people will benefit. Love and Peace Beyond the Beyond, Phyllis

I hope you find and keep peace in your heart.
By the read you surely are growing onwards and upwards.
For these times can be an emotional rollacoasta.
Just know he's with you on the downs as well as the ups.

Marion,
I went through the same ordeal in March. My brother and two of my dearest friends. It is never easy but somehow and with faith we survive. May He shower you always in His light and guide you through every endeavor. Blessings Always, Paul.
