Dear Howard and Kathleen,
I’ve been with you in spirit all day today, and am holding Kathleen in the light as best I can. I pray that the surgery went well, and that healing begins again and in full this time. I wish I was in Santa Cruz to help out. Please know that I am sending huge love to you, and waiting for more news.
Kim

Dear Kathleen and Howard,
We have been thinking of you in the past weeks.
Kathleen, we’re sending our best wishes for recovery so you can come home and enjoy a bowl of healing chicken soup.
much love,
Karen, Sheila, and Sophie
Here’s a poem from Sophie after picking the first strawberries of the season:

Ripe & Red

Summer’s day

run outside.

Spot three strawberries.

Smell them,

taste them,

delicious.
