For Daisy

                     IMG_2639


My friends’ newborn baby is critical ill. The outcome is uncertain.


I called them knowing that it didn’t matter that I didn’t know what to say… knowing that I didn’t have healing powers to offer them, and even though I wished I could do something to help I knew there wasn’t much I could do to change the outcome.


I called them simply to say I cared and was standing by them in spirit. Sometimes the best we can do is to stand by one another’s side and share the feelings at hand.


My heart is holding Daisy.

Everyday is a milestone and week a lifes journey.
