In the late summer of her life, her energy would leave most behind.
She has on her own brought three boys to the threshold of successful adulthood.
Her world is filled with learning, exploring, creating.
She has traveled the world and plumbed her own landscape to quench her thirst for discovery.
And with each story of her latest travels comes that smile.
It is a smile that conveys a life lived to capture the adventure of unlocking the treasure that every moment can hold for us.
It is a smile that inspires, that comforts, that speaks of potential and possibilities, of achievement and happiness.
My friend’s smile washes over me and envelops me with her hope and spirit.
