"Women blessed with death-eyes are fearless."
~ Terry Tempest Williams
For years, I struggled with an invisible, life-threatening illness. A few months into my recovery, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Keeping vigil by her bed, listening to her stories, witnessing her death, she breathed new life into me. She believed I could be whole and happy.
She believed we all could Be.
