The following entries (from beginning runner to half marathon finisher) represents a continuing journey of tremendous grief and sorrow, and of transformation - largely through the therapeutic power of running. The sorrow that has broken my heart open wide has in time allowed me to experience the beauty of being in the present moment. And of course, without the support of family and friends to guide me, I would not have made it this far.

If you have lost someone in your life, I offer these words and verse (some Kristy's, some mine and others) with the hope it may touch your heart and help you heal.

13 YEARS LATER

Today I hung another piece of blue glass outside. Now there are 13. They shine and sparkle like twinkling  eyes. I am thinking how fortunate I am to know you as a daughter, a friend, and a teacher. I see you in others all the time. In the generosity of my sister. In the humor of my brother. In the abilities of your sister. And in the wisdom of your seven year old nephew Ave. Part of us is with you and part of you is with us. So it shall ever be.
