About a month ago, I started scribbling notes for my doors and window series all about the beauty of crumbling beauty and decay. At the same time I’d done a Q & A with a friend at my other blog Cat Wisdom 101 and then thought nothing further. I’d looked forward to seeing her at a conference next month in Atlanta. I won’t be seeing her again. She died this afternoon. I knew she was in the hospital but didn’t worry until I heard she was on life support last night. A couple hours before she died, a loud chorus of crows erupted outside my window and I knew. An email three hours later confirmed the tragic news: Lorie Huston was dead. Obviously I’m still in shock but I have a plane to catch in the morning and this is all I can muster for now. It’s too soon to wrap my head around the senseless loss. I went back to the first page of the notebook and these words popped out: Death is but a doorway. Time is but a window. Sad. Poignant. Perfect.
This one’s for you Lorie. Rest in Peace.
WHAT WAS WRONG? WHAT DID SHE DIE OF?? THIS IS HEART BREAKING
Liver failure. The obits are online.

Thanks so much. She was very dear to me.
Oh jeez Layla. I am so sorry to hear this. Please be safe in your travels, and let’s talk when you’re home and rested. xo
Thanks Denise, thanks I’m about to head to the airport home.
