A short time before Fi passed away, she asked me to write a poem about her and read it at her funeral ceremony.  I know Fi wanted these words shared to help others, particularly women on the journey of breast cancer.   Fi also helped put together this exercise program to help manage the associated discomfort and pain .   She told me she didn’t fear death – but the transition into it.   Her bravest moment was, in her own words …. “Tonight I have the courage to close my eyes.”  Forever brave - Fi.    12.4.1963-19.6.2010

This is beautiful – thank you Harley x …

My friend Fi,  passed away late Saturday night.   Harley emailed through these drawings for me.    This is so, so true of how Black Dog works.  How something creative gifted through pure kindness can make a difference … capture a mood … a story … hold a moment … and move you through and beyond it.
