Charcoal Drawing

When I drew this image as a child, my aunt asked me for the same one. For a long time she had her copy hanging on her hallway wall.

It still seems odd to consider that she is gone. In some ways she feels as present as ever, given that we had been out of contact for so long.

I have a sneaking suspicion she hasn't gone very far, either. I am so grateful that I had her support. What a gift it was.
