During those years, whenever I was feeling especially low or depressed, I sometimes wandered through one of several former munitions buildings on the banks of the Potomac River at the edge of Old Town, Alexandria.
Every time I read about your sister, I grieve for her--someone I never knew--and hold your loss in my heart. And I also think about the marvel of having someone so close, so beautiful, so treasured, in your life. Your writing is evocative and powerful, and the stories you capture are amazing. I can't wait to read your entire memoir!
Thank you so much, Karen, for everything you've felt and written here. I already have you down for getting one of the very first copies of my book, hopefully next fall! ❤️
When I saw the photo of your sculpture, and before I read your story, I immediately thought of the Pieta! Having spent the fall in Rome, the imagery was undeniable!
Your ability to juxtapose is absolutely divine!
Thank you, Leslie ❤️

Kristin, I've missed your storytelling, and this Frame is a prime example of why. Enjoyed it. - Jim
I’ve missed you too, Jim—welcome back!
This may be your best chapter yet. Surely a demarcation of transition from a before period to a now period with an opening road.
Btw, you're prescient!
There is actually a frame called "The Open Road" coming up soon – SF#54
Kristin, I’ve known you for many years,
yet reading these I feel that I have never
really known you.
Reading these is meeting you,
for the first time,
for real.
Aww, thank you ❤️
You know, I think this is exactly why writers write memoirs – so that people will know who they are.
Thank you! I'm so happy you like it. It certainly felt like a turning point to me ☺️
Amazing pictures
