thirteen of us sat on the couches around the fire at the ‘Empress’ toasting my dear friends mother ‘Kay’ who just passed away at age 93 – we scattered her ashes along the beach and gathered to celebrate her life with Bristol cream sherry and hors d’oeurves and stories from those present of ‘Kay’ and of each of our own mothers … this was a coming together of old friends with whom we share history and those new with whom to discover awaiting tales of yet untraveled roads – we were lifted to a new level of inner acknowledgment of our own presence and the difference we make in the lives that we touch … thank you ‘Kay’ for sharing yourself with each of us and leaving us fuller for the experience
