Twilight Eclipsed

"...And the mother gave, in tears and pain, 
The flowers she most did love; 
She knew she should find them all again 
In the fields of light above..."

~Longfellow

Judy's Twilight has eclipsed.  Her body lost the battle to The Beast, as she always called it, at 1 a.m. on Thursday, March 4.  Her funeral will be held this coming Tuesday at high noon.  The family, and even I in a different way, live on in a thin place.  We're surrounded by family and friends. The beauty in the ashes are the moments such as Thursday morning when I awoke to the laughter of her loved ones soldiering on in their grief.  Thank you all for your strength, deep sympathies, and encouraging words.  It fuels me and allows me to laugh with little boys.
