That Smile

From the time she was little, Corey's smile filled the room and lit any dark place. This photograph is one of many in which the light on her face is powerful and strong. Looking at it now--she was only 18 at the time--I allow the tears to fall, because it is impossible not to miss her, and yet I recognize that wherever Corey is, she must still be a creature of light.

It was December 27, 2001. Everyone, including my mother, was at our home in Winston-Salem for Christmas that year. Corey had graduated from high school and decided to experiment with dying her hair dark. She is wearing a t-shirt of her brother's and a rabbit coat her boyfriend gave her. She was radiant, no matter what she wore.

I love this picture!!! Corey and I had this same coat and we loved it and wore it all the time. We loved our patch work coats!!! Saddly I donated mine when it no longer fit, otherwise I would break it out just for her

    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.
