In my recent conversations with K. she has said to me that she wonders if she will see summer again...see a flower bloom...all of the things we seem to take for granted. All of the things that we just 'know' are going to come.
I suppose the truth is that none of us know if we will be able to do many things one more time before our time here is up. It makes me want to try and enjoy those precious, simple moments as much as I can. We recently had a freezing rain storm that coated the branches of the trees in ice. When the sun set, it looked like the trees were coated in glass. It was stunning...it almost looked like white fire. I had just been complaining about how much I wish winter was over. I am glad that I didn't miss this unexpected scene of frigid beauty. I ran outside with my camera when I got home to try to document this rare sight. When I came inside to review my work, I was slightly disappointed. It is so hard to capture nature's beauty on film and do it justice.
It does not make me sad to think that she might not do or see some things again. I believe she is going to a place that far suprasses any beauty here. The moments like the one I experienced the other day, I hope, might be a glimpse of what she will see when she gets to heaven, except maybe not as cold :)
