Thoughts twist and wind their way through my mind. Caught up in the cobwebs they struggle to be free. As they surface through my pen, the gnarled words confuse my eyes. Like a puzzle I try to piece the words together. Slowly a story begins to appear. A story of pain, of love, of happiness, and of sadness. A story of smiles and tears, of hopes and fears. As these obscure words begin to become clear, I realize then that they were not twisted or gnarled, but an intricate pattern like tatted lace. Intertwined together to make a beautiful story of life. A life lived well, a happy life. My life. Terri Faye House Copyright ©2006 Terri Faye House
