Dear Maryann:
I was thinking of you this am when making my oatmeal and looking at the painting which is a collage of your and my color pencil painting of fruits (hung in the kitchen). I believe the bananas are yours!
I think I’m sending you a laurel wreath this Christmas for you to wear to show your impending sainthood. Your long life has been blessed with so many sufferings; I wonder how much more purifying you need. Your mom lived a long life of fidelity too. Your daughter was sacrificed. Yours is a holy family. I am Virginia of Christ and you are Maryann of Christ, two sisters of wisdom still walking in poverty chastity and obedience.
Together we look to our destiny of the rest of our transformation from the love of power to the power of love; from the survival of self to the kindness to all. We are one in faith, hope and love! Deus Solis!
Love, Jeanne
Dear Jeanne,
Thank you for your latest card. I was mesmerized by the watercolor landscape in this card. It got me thinking about maybe getting my watercolors out again and start painting but i can’t quite fit it in my schedule, right now.
Please keep me in your prayers. After the hellish five years that I just went through, my body has finally rebelled. The stress from Amy’s death, Bob’s sickness and death, custody of my grandchildren during the worse times of their young lives and the death of my brother who had been a boon in helping me with the children, my mammogram two weeks ago showed cancer again after 24 years of being cancer free from breast cancer. It is not as serious as it could be but we are talking surgery and some follow up treatment but not chemo. Just got the results of the biopsy today and still trying to reconcile myself to these new events.
Happy thanksgiving.
Love
Maryann
