She's so pretty...
My how Mommy's daughters look like her....I wonder if they have a favorite photo of her they'd like to share here with the rest of the world. They do remind me of her whenever I see them. My sons characterize her in their mannerisms and their good hearts. My daughters have good hearts as well. They just happen to have all the accouterments to look like their mother. Mommy's dear friend Heidi Burns says she still cries over Mommy dying. I will meet with her Dec, 23rd to go to the cemetery and have a lunch together to remember her. From Thanksgiving on I am not able to think of anything else but her dying during this time last year. Work helps because I actually do save peoples lives and I can also love them as Baha'u'llah asks me to. I hope next year some of this essential sadness goes away.

Beautiful.

I don't know how to share a photo in a comment, but there are few photos of Mama that I don't like ;-). I am particularly fond of her high school graduation photo.
I, too, hope this next year can be about healing. I'm exhausted.
I love you, Papa. I hope this year is gentle to you.

You may have noticed that I don't post photos. It's not just to protect myself and my career. I somehow lost the ability to post photos.
One of my favorites is of Ma sitting on some steps outside in Paris. It's sort of like imagining another version of myself.
I find myself thinking of Ma often these days. It's harder to 'just keep going'; which I am very good at doing.
I was looking through my jewelry to find something purple to wear. I was very sad, but happy at the memories. A kind of sadness I wouldn't do without.
