17 years ago on this day Kathryn, my second wife, exited this world. She was an award winning feline health writer, middle eastern dance and yoga instructor, Arabic hand drummer, neopagan witch, an artist and music community leader. I had the privilege of her presence the last ten years of her life. She struggled with bipolar II, PTSD, anxiety, agoraphobia, Lyme disease, and chemical dependency. She gave much love, and needed more love than any one could give her. I am still wrecked how her health challenges distorted her views, how she treated herself and how she chose to leave this world, but ultimately I am grateful for all the love she gave me and others, helping us be better, wiser people. I miss her. Love hurts and love heals. Blessed be.
