Today, May 13th, is Charlotte’s day.  This is the day that Charlotte was born and died.  (Charlotte’s mama writes about her here.)

Dear lovely Charlotte, you will never know the huge ripples you have sent out across the globe.  There are literally hundreds of people mourning you worldwide.  We all wish you were here.

For me personally, Charlotte, you have wrought miracles of consciousness– a deeper knowledge of grief, and love, and appreciation, and compassion.

I will honor your memory until my last day arrives, as it arrives for us all.
