Summerland

Last night , a wonderful friend passed through the veil. Her chosen name is Molly and she 'borrowed' it from her favorite grandmother. This woman has been a very important part of my life. She bought my very first robe for me! She loved cats and dogs, especially her dog, Woodrow. She named three of her dogs after characters in a Larry McMurty book. She loved to dance and watch others dnce and have fun! She taught me that it was ok to just be me and to hell with the rest of the world! Laugh - it's true! Before we became friends, I had no idea there were other authors out there who wrote paranormal romance besides Anne Rice. When Butter was only 7 weeks old, I snuck her into the bar that Molly owned just so she and Butter could meet. It was love at first lick/love/sight! We used to go out to Sunday Brunch every weekend and trade off who would pay. We always had eggs benedict and she would eat my orange garnish. I learned bits and pieces of her life as the weeks went by. She led a hard, but magical life! Once she was my date to the private women's party! Fab time! She cooked an incredible meal for me the night that I went over to her house to watch Avalon. I love her. She will always live on in my heart. Beltain plans are changing. May 1st is Molly's Wake. I'll be there. Tears and tales will be flowing as well as lots of laughter. She (& her bright, beautiful butterfly tattoo) will surely be with us in heart and spirit. Akasha, you are cherished. always, Patika )0(
