50x365 #305: Lara

Your gentleness with your instrument and the people you knew inspired me as a child. I knew I could do that, too, if I only practiced enough. That was before your schizophrenia. When they found your body days after death a couple of months ago, I felt relief for you.

I am a participant in x365 and Blog 365.

I love your 365's. I'll be sad when they are over.

And I've given you an award.

Hard to know which part is the most tragic... I think definitely the Schizophrenia- such a loss.

Ouch. I don't know the person. I don't know you. I don't understand the 365 thing, but in just a few words, you layed out the entire story that would have taken most authors two chapters to even attempt.

Just read these three and have to have some quiet thinking time. The 365s really make me reflect on who we are as people and how we brush off onto others. And even the scary ones attain a sort of beauty in your words.
