Josh and Mom Remembered in Snowy Branches

My nephew Josh left this world in the spring of 2014 and posted one of my mom's Christmas Cards on FaceBook to me just a few days before he died. He said, "I think this is one of my favorites." I responded saying it was one of my favorites as well. Mom's sketch that year was all about wonder and hope. When I think about Josh searching out that card, scanning it, contemplating it's meaning, and sending it to me, I only wish he were here so we could chat about it. He just never made it to the more distant finish line. Today, the branches were covered with snow and I know that sight would have inspired both my artist mom and Josh. Remembering you both today with love.
