You’re so talented, blessed and a very cool human. When I was a vegetarian I secretly cooked a tofu turkey, added it to my plate and then covered it with mashed potatoes, so my in-laws wouldn’t spot it and begin criticizing me. Anyway, it is so wonderful to see your daughter and you happy together. 😌
Shannan, I am trembling as I read this. Thank God and everything good for the eventual outcome, but I’m so sorry you and dear Ana ever had go thru such a trauma. Love to you both XoXo.
I am haunted, feeling profoundly human in the sea of your words. My heart holds you and your daughter, and my own daughter, grown but also facing the threat of brackish waves. Thank you for this beautiful, beautiful tribute 😢💙
I love this Blue Ana poem so much! My son was born blue almost 40 years ago and he has been keeping me on my toes ever since! It’s amazing how much we love our children, isn’t it? Happy Thankful Day to you and the family!💜💜

Oh, this: "The sky outside is blue and yellow and not the least bit aware that it ought to be crackling and black."
