“You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don’t get over it because ‘it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never loses. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?” ― Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

These words hit home today. I am missing my mom so much. Thanks, Monte. And a beautiful sunset too!

You have had a lot of loss recently so I can imagine the unique holes you have in your heart. The best I have to offer you today for comfort are my prayers and a long distance hug: HUG!

Thanks, Monte, not only for taking such beautiful shots of the exquisite sunset, but also for sharing it w/others and the lovely posting of commentary. The sunset provided some healing moments and confirmed “all is well” and Kevin’s affirmation “Mom, I’m okay.” God provided such an awesome closure to the day. Thanks for the zip file and for sharing. ~~ Kay
