What a Morning, Mourning...

IMG_0971-1

...I wake in my sister's guestroom bed, concentrating on the cracks in the old plaster walls...If I stay in bed longer I can delay going downstairs to see if my sister is awake with pain this morning...I can hope that this cancer that has created a crack in the structure of our lives is just a dream...I mourn our past, easy-going lives...

  2. Sometimes life is too painful and then we turn a corner and the end seems like the beginning.
    I wish you both grace.
    Peace~
