We all gathered for her 33rd birthday. She was all smiles. I was contented and relieved to see her participate with such a positive spirit. She was emulating such beauty. Her soul seemed to feed upon the essence of love surrounding her.

Swan called. How she is sadly missed. She wants to be here with us. We need her here. She is such a very important part of us. All we can do is pray...and wait for her return. Swan...we love you...

As the days turn into weeks, and augment into months...that will mature into years...I praise my God; for He has blessed me...in knowing my children and giving them the strength to endure...
