There's been a lot of sadness amongst friends lately - a lot of loss.
I hate contributing to that sadness (my cats and family are fine), however it's right around the anniversary of a very dear friend's passing...and I need to write about it.
No need to click behind the link ~ I'm tucking it away so no one HAS to even scroll through it.
I just wrote a card to send to J9's parents. I haven't heard from them in a while so I'm guessing there will be no cabaret this year either. :(
I can't believe it's already been 6 years since she passed on.
It seems almost fitting that it was this time of year she left us - spring is springing forth here in NM - trees are starting to burst with fuschia and white flowers - the high desert grasses are turning slightly less brown - the snow is disappearing from the mountain tops. Even when I feel sad about her leaving my physical presence, that sun hits my face and the warm breeze passes by and I can't help but feel joy at the renewal of it all.
How fitting - that her place in my life caused SUCH great joy and mirth.
