KATPILOT Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 This is the piece you bought Brad. "Sanctuary" by Sarah Treanor. Such a powerful statement from just one word. The photograph is actually a self portrait. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KATPILOT Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thanks Brad. Yes my sister is the best friend I ever have had. She loved Kathy too and Kathy sure felt the same. Sarah's work is powerful alright. When I first began reading her blogs on Souring Spirits, I felt the anguish and sorrow she was going through. Then she met Mike who is now a blog writer too now- at a Camp Widow event and they slowly became close and now are engaged and she has relocated to Ohio where he and his young daughter live. I don't mean to ramble but her photography follows her journey and speaks to all of us. They put a picture to the emotions and feelings of grief. I hung that image "Sanctuary" in my house because it had a meaning that I wanted my granddaughters to ponder and grow up remembering that picture in Grandpa's house. Maybe I will get two more just to keep for when I am gone. Then they won't have to fight over who gets it. I will never forget how they were all standing in front of it asking me what it was. I asked "What does it make you feel? Is it a place you can go when you are sad or scared or just need to be safe?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KATPILOT Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 So far we have taken in more that $7,000.00 and there will be more coming in. We made a difference and I want to thank everyone for their support, artwork, working the show and buying art as well. I have personally thanked the people from Cattletrack and will be hosting a dinner for them. Mark worked his buns off at the smoker wagon serving food for hours and it wasn't the coolest day outside. The Barb Q was pretty good wasn't it? But it doesn't stop here. Those of us who can donate to this wonderful site need to continue doing so and new members please do what you can. I know in my early years I was so distraught that I didn't even see the donate now button at the top of the page when it first was put there. Many of our members are having a tough time just trying to keep their homes, cars, paying medical bills, etc. and that is why there is no fee to join or participate. It's up to the rest of us who can. Thank you. Thank you everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I wasn't in a position financially to have made a purchase but I have made a couple of small PayPal donations to Marty over the last year. I've also tried my best to give those in despair some sense of comfort and hope for the future. And in a way, I believe that's another kind of positive contribution. Thank you to all those involved in this wonderful project. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenK Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Missing Maryann!. Have not heard from her since we parted at the art auction. Hope you are doing okay, my fellow Texan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yeah, I wondered why she was so quiet...maybe she's busy catching up on stuff since she's been back. What'd you think, Maryann? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
