I later met a woman who had grown up in Argentina but lived in the United States. I told her about my son's dream, and she said she was returning to Argentina and would be happy to be part of our journey. #grief

When I was going through #CancerTreatment during 2009, my friend Karen said #goldfinches are harbingers of #miracles. I rarely see them, but here are 4--can you find them all?--in lavender, seen as I walked to the farmers' market. Bring them on!
