“For Those Who Walked With Us
For those
who walked with us,
this is a prayer.
For those
who have gone ahead,
this is a blessing.
For those
who touched and tended us,
who lingered with us
while they lived,
this is a thanksgiving.
For those
who journey still with us
in the shadows of awareness,
in the crevices of memory,
in the landscape of our dreams,
this is a benediction.”

This picture of Stacy’s gorgeous tree, Grace, was snapped a week ago today. She was maybe 24-36 from peak. The small cold front that moved through last night whisked away many beautiful leaves. Still, it’s a beautiful time of year here in Kentucky, with plenty of leaves. There’s a bunch of them on the ground, but they’re still here and beautiful.
