I've added two lines, making 55 words, dedicated to Dawn Neely.<br /><br />My dear friend passed away on September 18 in the early evening ... as the Harvest Moon was rising. Dawn fought a long, arduous battle with ovarian cancer. She was only forty-eight. <br /><br />I was able to see her earlier that day, hold her hand, sing hymns I knew she loved, hoping she might hear my voice. <br /><br />It was my birthday. <br /><br />A few weeks prior, a family member had suggested they talk about 'the elephant in the room' .. regarding Dawn's end of life wishes. In her inimitable style Dawn responded ... 'well, if we are going to talk about the elephant, she'd better damn well have a name! <br /><br />Edna Elephant was born.<br /><br /><a href="http://woonietest.blogspot.com/2013/09/dancing-with-elephants.html" rel="nofollow">link_words</a><br /><br /><br />Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619199535376925989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819635251895015897.post-74200192163938248512013-09-20T08:13:58.919-04:002013-09-20T08:13:58.919-04:00Am I the only one who likes haiku?
