Blue Hydrangea
by Katreena Dayacap Katsafanas
"Nothing can separate love, and I know this to be true. Gathering my thoughts, journal entries, poetry and prose from the last eight years has been incredibly difficult. I held off for a very long time in fear of bringing myself through those painful memories before, during and after my mother’s death. But here it is. By finally opening up to all the change since my mom passed, I’m able to find inner peace and with that, true healing. I love you, Mom. I prayed and hoped that we would beat cancer. We fought against your disease together and gave each other strength through that unimaginable struggle. I know you are with me in spirit and there helping me rebuild my life and become open to all that has changed since I lost you. I know it is natural for me to miss you, even now. I wish we could make new memories together, but I hope you know that the memories of the time we spent together will always bring me happiness." - Tree
