This photo is a recent find. It's from the end days. (Note the hydrangeas and coconut cake.) 

Those sea foam eyes look tired. 

My mama is beautiful here. While most probably see a sick woman, I see an accomplished artist who made a difference in the lives of her students. A daughter whom her father loved dearly and instilled everything he loved within her. A friend, who trekked the mountains and charged the waters and found her way home by the stars. A cancer survivor who fought for 6 more years when she was only given 2 months. I see a wife and a mom who loved her family with everything she ever had. 

My beautiful mama. 

Today marks her 6th year since she was called Home.

I love you mom.

Song of the Day

I love you dear friend. I miss you so much. Be well, I'll be seeing you.

I dedicate this Song of the Day to you. I love you.

Chasing the Lights

While I am no stranger to Blogger, I have not posted an entry in over three years. My other blog is still near and dear to my heart, but as I read it for the first time I can tell you that, that girl I wrote about isn't me. Not anymore. LonelyLittleBird was the outlet I needed during my time of grief. Sorrow. Of emptiness and utter loneliness. Despair. That isn't me anymore.
I'd like to start this new year and new blog with one of my favorite quotes.

"Where there's life there's hope." -J.R.R. Tolkien
