Half a year

6 months

Many tears
Holding my daughter
Smiling at bouffy-haired dark slim young old photos with my son
Hundreds of miles of walking and thinking, feeling, experiencing and growing

We are still here
We are still crying
Still managing
Still finding our way

And Gerald is
... doing what?

That bright-shining moment at Pakiri
(glory be to God for dappled things ...)

Gerald was with me
Taught me
Loved me
Hated me
Struggled
Shrugged
and laughed again

He was beautiful

As we all are and will be in our turns.
Float well, swim strong, revel in the freedom our new growth brings
