A Star for O’Henry
I picked out a star the evening O’Henry crossed on December 7, 2011. Each night I step out on the porch to say goodnight to him. I still can’t do it without tears. Of course, sometimes the stars are not visible but I know “he is always there” just as I never had to turn around when he was alive, I just knew he was right behind me. I miss you sweet boy. |

I have known Karen for thirty -five years and have always enjoyed her artwork but this took my breath away--in this picture I feel the relationship that she and O'Henry had--from day one together. what a wonderful and heartfelt memorial!!!
Ah, Karen.... too many years ago I picked a huge towering thunderhead shaped like a horses head and front legs rearing up - for an all too similar reason - We don't have those kinds of Thunderheads in this part of the country - but every once in a while I'll catch a glimse of a big storm cell forming and it all comes back to me ...
he will never be far from your memories -
Karen,
This is so beautiful.
