I've changed and am still changing, as you know. So it means a lot to be valued and loved no matter what, even when parts slip away.<br /><br />I just posted some pictures in the latest blog post: http://alisonpiepmeier.blogspot.com/2016/04/my-last-day-with-my-hair.html . They're pictures in the last 10 years--if you have a picture or two from Nashville, I'll post them!<br /><br />Love you!Alison Piepmeierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972854288403934814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217750984500164269.post-48962946467987602042016-04-13T22:38:27.833-04:002016-04-13T22:38:27.833-04:00Alison, it's Kathy in Nashville. I've been...Alison, it's Kathy in Nashville. I've been quietly following the unfolding of your story here online, and I guess I just felt too far away to uncloak. So many of us here in Nashville are with you in spirit, we speak of you often and are holding with you like a virtual circle, from the past and present. Peggy and I even thought about getting on a plane and coming to see you. Your ability to articulate and share your experience, even through the communication challenges, helps all of us who had to say goodbye to you all those years ago, still feel that sense of you. <br /><br />I remember upside-down sweeping cobwebs off your ceiling at Lichey St., helping you get ready to sell the house. And going to see you with Christie over the holidays when you first discovered the tumor. <br /><br />Some part of my heart has been walking beside you all along, and I guess I just wanted you to know. You are a blessing, every step of the way, whether you have all the perfect words or not, whether your emails or blog posts make sense or not. Watching you keep reaching for life has moved me to tears many times, especially your fierce, full presence for every phase of this journey. I have this picture of you just standing in the fire, not running from any of it, just letting each experience, even the sadness, wash over you. <br /><br />Sending BIG LOVE across the miles, and wanting you to know there's a gaggle of us, from Tuesday nights at Starbucks and the Green Hills Grille all those years ago, who love you very much and are standing with you in support over here in Nashville. <br /><br />Mostly, at this moment, I'm finding that I'm wishing for your dreams to be peaceful, beautiful, spacious, comforting.....so that your sleep is easy and you can get some rest. <br /><br />Love love love<br />Kathy V.
