snowy wilderness
cold winter sun, soaring trees
a small lone figure
for a time she stood fearless
my protector, my mother

I can’t begin to imagine what that was like but I’m happy for you that you had such a wonderful parent and sad that there is pain.

Thank you, Dwight! I’m so pleased you like them. When my mother sent me the photo, I immediately captioned it in my mind as “Kay in an Alien Universe.”
