It’s our daughter Emily holding her computer when she and friends talked with Sara Frankl over Skype at the beach a few weeks ago.
Joy, life, light, babies, pain.
I stare at those faces, the bright sunshine, and the lady miles away in the computer. If you write, you’re supposed to be able to say something, but I can’t describe how I see a summary of our Life Experience in that photo. I just do and it makes me cry.
Sara has been sick for a long time. Some crazy disease made every movement painful for her. Okay, worse than painful. She was allergic to everything, even outside air, so she couldn’t leave her home. Even her dog had to stay inside, because he would bring air back in on his fur. This went on for years.
I can’t imagine.
Sara died Saturday night.
Joy, life, light, babies, pain, death.
And joy and life and light again.
I can only imagine.
