i heard the weather in vermont today was magical...sun and wind and that little nip in the air that says fall is here. it is the first fall in a few years that i have been away from vermont, but i knew that sara's spirit would find me where ever i may be. it was a hard day for me...some years i feel very strong today and others i feel so much saddness that i feel consumed by it. i tried to spend most of the day outside, i walked all over my neighborhood, sat in parks, stood by the water. i spent a long time sitting by the river this afternoon thinking about my dear friend. i miss sara every day and i know that her spirit is with me always. my thoughts are with jane and reid and erica this gorgeous evening and know they are together celebrating the spark of life that was beautiful, radient sara. i miss you sara! -nina
