Paradise. I see flowers from the cottage where I lie.
-- Death Poem by Yaitsu

::: Tower View :::
The Endless Fields
I had a real hard time with this entry. Part of it is because of the sensative subject, but also because its about someone I only know by a name. I only knew Ashley as a fellow blogger and a mother. Matter of fact, she and her husband had their second child just last month.

So when I was shown this article about her death, I was at a loss of words. Other than giving your sympathy to the family and friends, what else can you say?

You remember the things that made them special. In this case, Ashley would joke about her little sproglets as well as trade barbs with the UF fans since she was a LSU fan. Last night, she was simply estatic as her precious Tigers won the national championship.

And today she's simply gone. Just a void that was just filled yesterday.

I'm not sure there is more that can be said so I toiled to find something that a better wordsmith could say.

From the Declaration Of The Free by Robert G. Ingersoll
Is there beyond the silent night
An endless day?
Is death a door that leads to light?
We cannot say.

God speed, AshPeaMama.

You'll never know why
Your face has haunted me
My very soul has to bleed this time
Another hole in the wall of
My inner defenses
