Erica's Remembrance:
She chose an “outside-in” house, with walls of windows, and filled our home with the sky.
She chose an “outside-in” house, with walls of windows, and filled our home with the sky.
She put us out with the
cat. She taught us the names of
flowers. She brought the leaves inside.
She filled our fists with
pens and paints and showed us the beauty in our own art.
She listened to the details,
and cared as much as we did. She was
there, into the night, until our decisions were made.
She taught us that we are
extraordinary, yet just like everyone else.
She said, “I’m with you,” in
moments of despair, when no ears but hers, could have born the burden of our
fears.
She was there, without
judgment, to show us we were not alone, filling us with strength, to emerge
healed and whole.
