"Grief is not limited to someone who has died. I'd titled the triptych painting a year ago. Yet it kept whispering. I tried to ignore her. Moved on to other things more pressing.

"Still she persisted. Like the ever present thought of wondering what my granddaughter looks like today. Nagging grief for the child I cannot see continues ever present.

"Informing everything I do, the creatrix tells me it's time to write Becoming Butterfly. In this series of books, we'll explore the paintings. I'll rewrite the script that runs silently in my head and open my heART for healing."
