Like faith. Nicely wrought, Wende. Sometimes the harsh reality of the here and now is so powerful it seems as though it transcends life. Like faith. Nicely wrought, Wende.

It will be a gift to them and maybe that's in keeping with the epiphany. You should tell Jesse’s parents that you remember him.

It is odd that we can't envision those we've lost getting older. They are frozen in time. Beautiful post, Wende.

The fear of things better left unsaid, you know? I had to think long and hard about Epiphany and remembering or honoring the dead. And yet that is what the Magi did - prophesying the eventual death of Christ. Epiphany being the grasp of reality through something simple, striking - whatever that something is - the death of a loved one - or the birth of a new hope. And so I am forced to examine what Epiphany is to me. It is uncomfortable to sit with - but sit I will. I'll try to focus on the beauty of the life I have - and honor those who've gone before all in the same breath... At first I didn’t know what to say for fear of trampling over what you’ve written.
