I have taken quite a bit of time away from writing here. I don't know why. With each season that passes, it is yet another reminder of this cyclical world for which we endure. Summer faded to Fall, and I experienced winter in Mexico, a bitter cold that refutes any standard belief that Mexico is strictly Cabo or Cancun in nature. I have returned to California as spring approaches. I remember feeling the temperature change while she was in the hospital. The difference between the warm air during the month of July to the cool evenings I spent at the hospital in September.
