and a short time to be there. (Box of Rain)
In honor and memory of Laurina Cipra, who passed away one year ago today. She still lives on in the hearts of her family, who miss her deeply, and her many friends she made in over 80 years of gracing this world with her presence.
A full-blooded Swede, Laurina joined the ranks of the Irish, at least in spirit, as it was on St. Patrick’s day that she made her way to the great beyond.
“may the road rise to meet you
may the wind be always at your back
and may you find yourself in the palm of God’s hand
an hour before the devil knows you’re gone …”
Jeneane, writing powerfully in her own inimitable style, has posted more about the death of her father on St Patrick’s day, when she was only 5 years old. It’s a heartwrenching tale, and if you read the comments you can see what I added to the mix.
