Hello Michael,
Your article touched me as a ‘momento mori’ reminder.
I have one of your drawing/paintings in my house in
California (given to me by my son)). I enjoy the vulner-
ability I feel when I look at it.
Some time ago you wrote about putting your grief in
a permanent place in your life that didn’t cripple
you. I have used that notion with friends who have
lost someone (in one case a father who lost his son).
My birthday is coming up soon (11-11-2011) and I always
remember my nephew whose was born on that date and died
at twelve years old as a connection with the preciousness
of life. I hope to hear good news about your life.
