My beautiful and wonderful sister, Karen, passed eight years ago. This is a difficult time for me. Spring is here, my favorite season. Another year has passed into eternity for her. And another year gone in the countdown that began for me in 1960.
Karen’s soul had no presence. Except when it was gone. And it feels stronger as the days pass. Her death being a transference from something as inconsequential as life to an existence that has no substance. A state that is far more meaningful once it can’t be touched or experienced. A paradox of beauty, wonder and mystery that lasts forever.
Miss ya Sis.

Beautiful, Chris. Such a nice way to express your sentiments at such a tender time.
Thanks for sharing, Chris. We sometimes need to be reminded how special and important family is, despite any differences we may have.

Thanks for sharing this, Chris. It’s interesting timing for me because I’ve been feeling very conflicted these past few days. As the sun begins to warm our yard, crocuses and tulips are opening, and the lilacs, cherry and apple trees are budding out, I feel a sense of euphoria. At the same time, as I stand with my face to the sun, warming my eyelids and the top of my head, I can’t help but feel sad that my dad isn’t here to enjoy our beautiful Montana spring.
You carry a strong, warm, loving legacy for Karen’s memory, Chris.
With love, Sarah

Beautifully expressed. Brought tears to my eyes before I could even finish it. When you see my film, you will understand why your post meant so much to me. Thank you, Christian.
My first visit to your blog Christian and what met me was amazing. Highs and lows, wins and losses, darkness and light, welcome to Spring.
