Como Conservatory Cousins
Luckily nothing like that happened. We just enjoyed the beautiful lily show. Here's Rose #3 posing by the water:

I am the wax in her ears
You are the ice in my water
You are the blood in my body
You are the wax in my ears (WHAT?)
You are the cat in my hat
You are the food I'm eating
You are the water in my ocean
You are the Valentines' that I'm writing
Happy Valentine's Day!

Chalice Lighter
Two of the other girls that went through the program with her, Tess and Gwyneth, possed for a picture next to the, well, chalice!
This was one of the days I really wish my mom was still alive. She would have loved to see Rose #1 invested as a Chalice Lighter. I remember the day that I joined our church as a member; she was so proud and happy.
I have an observation to make about death, or more precisely about the sympathy that people express to you when a family member dies. They say: Your memories will sustain you. Or, Aren't we lucky we had as much time as we had with her. Or, Your mother will always be with you.
That's bulls**t. Memories don't sustain you. Yeah, maybe we're lucky we had that much time, but hell, I wanted more time. And one more comment: aren't I supposed to be able to feel my mother's presence in my life? Like feel her hand guiding me or her love in my heart? I have news for you - I got nothing. A big, fat, nothing.

Cat Bean

She said that she was getting ready to be a teenager, as if she needs years of practice. She did also note that she was doing her getting ready early.
Great.
