When a friend really knows and loves you

When my friend, Rodica Prato, a marvelous illustrator (www.rodicaprato.com)  first heard the news of the sickness that would soon kill my longtime companion she sent me the first sketch. It captured my mood perfectly and brought me great comfort.

As his condition worsened and our hopes of recovery were dashed, she sent me the following.

After she and her family went to the beautiful memorial dedicated to celebrating Jamie’s life, she sent me the following which reminded me that I have always been able to bounce back.  Yes.  I will.

Thank you Rodica for your beautiful drawings that I treasure and to Pam, Katie and Lorea for the delicious cookies.

Please note hat all the sketches have copyrights.
