Wow. I have been thinking of you non-stop since we last talked but especially yesterday. You seemed to be with me in every thought and move. I was at the studio and pulled down the box of items you gave me. I called and tried to reach you to see what glazes I should use to finish the few pieces up with. Never reached you but glazed them......as you had done others. Still I kept thinking of you....as if you were there.
I finally took a moment and looked you up on line finding that you have left that failing body (because your mind and spirit were not failing at all!) and moved on.
I feel cheated and so very lucky. I feel cheated because I didn't get more time with you. That I didn't get to hear more stories or tails of adventure. That we didn't get to work on that wall piece together. I feel lucky and fortunate to have spent time with you, playing in clay, listening to your lifes adventures, getting advice and tips. Adventures from golf, art, U of M, Ann Arobr Art Fair, California, Alaska, Hawaii and Mexico. My what a full life because I am sure those were only the tips of a major iceberg!
Cindy for such a small lady you were larger then life, you lived it to the fullest and shared so much. I know there were times when you were so tired and your lungs just won't cooperate the way you wanted yet you worked on your pieces for your sisters caregivers making sure you had something for each of them.
I will cherish the things you left me and I have displayed them proudly.
Thank you Cindy for your kindness, humor and for just being you. I will try to live up to just some of your spirit in giving and humor!
To Yoko....Thank you for caring for such a fabulous lady.
