Thank you, Hans, for sharing the story of losing your good pal and amazing daughter Stella Blue to cancer. I had heard bits of it from my Seattle School colleague friend, Mary as it was happening, and to read where you are at now is a gift despite the continuing struggles. Love changes us; death changes us. I am glad you are writing; your writing here has inspired me to write, so thank you. And Laura....your questions are always such catalysts for change/healing/hope. Thank you for the gift of this grieving space.

I love the reminders of this small world/small city and possibly the more romantic but also scientific idea that we really all are connected ~~~~ thank you Kelli !
