We ask that you never regret having merged with another, for in doing so you have not only given but you have also received. While the tide may turn, or the leaves grow brittle and fall, choose to focus on the life that existed when all fruits were ripe.
You are all meant to flitter about as the butterfly that passes through your garden. There are many gardens in your future that you have not yet even dreamt could exist. They wait ever so patiently and with excitement for the day you are ready to fly again.
I am a storyteller, writer, librarian and countrywoman. I have lived in West Virginia over 30 years and have done the things you read about in history books--growing tobacco, making molasses, living without electricity.
