remembering Kathleen

after the diagnosis
she was daily drawn
to the sunrise

and there from her
chair near
the window

she inhaled
it's marvelous light


*This post is dedicated to Kathleen Selvidge who went home to be with her maker yesterday evening at 6:10, just as the sun was setting in the west.

We all come into the world gifted by the Lord to help our fellow travelers. Among Kathleen's gifts were an especially tender mercy and a refined appreciation for beauty; both of which inspired and encouraged all who knew her. I know i echo the sentiments of many friends in sending grateful love and sincere sympathy to her devoted family. She will be remembered and missed.
