We are so glad and honored you are still with us, poet.

And, friend.

I didn't have that life flashing before my eyes thing. But, I did feel the rushing away toward something. It was something warm and welcoming… and, I did not want to turn back.

But, then I was back. I wept because I was stopped on that path and brought back. Yet, I was also filled with a great gratitude as the image of my little boy and my loving husband filled my heart with a rush as immediate as was that rushing away.
