    Poignant and heart stopping in three little lines. Amazing.

    Hi Judy and Cara - thank you both for stopping by to read and comment.

    I found this a very emotional prompt to work with. I answered all the exercise questions with the day two prompt, but with this one I couldn't even do one question: just broke down in tears, and later came up with this. There's still not enough distance between my loss.

    Words enough, Kristen, to pierce the heart.
