Random/Not Random

Suzanne wound up at my house through a series of choices made by her, by me, and by others along the way, and so you could say it was... random. 

In the same way that I have always loved being a mom, I love hosting visitors: cooking for them, advising them, showing them around, seeing what intriguing conversations we fall into. Yesterday, I invited Suzanne to come along for my Saturday walk in the woods with my trusty husky, Sequoia.

Suzanne emerges from the guest bedroom wearing a big smile and a Corey shirt. Who even has a Corey Feldman shirt these days? It's a joke, the Corey Feldman Center of the Arts, but that only adds to the fun--and poignancy--of this moment, standing in my kitchen with a bright young woman who is about the age of my Corey, and we are headed out for a walk in the woods together. 

In the crisp early November air, with the autumn sun warming our backs, we talk, navigate leaves and roots, stop to enjoy a mountain waterfall. I walked part of this trail with Corey five or six years ago. No matter. I feel her walking with us today, and I give thanks for random/not random events in the world of change and life and death.

    Love Is Stronger Than Death

    These entries are part of an upcoming book about love and grief, in honor of Corey Considine, my beautiful younger daughter. She was with us in physical form from August 12,1983 to June 6, 2013. It was a vehicle accident, at the end of a beautiful sunset she had just watched from her favorite hill. She was engaged to a wonderful young man, dabbling in art, planting gardens, planning her wedding, offering love, care, and healing to everyone she knew.

    Since that time, those of us who love her have had to work hard to deal with our grief and to be sure that the sense of loss does not overpower the love. To find a way to let our love for Corey grow. When your beloved is no longer walking on this earth, the love you had for them does not stop.
    Love is stronger than death.
