Happy birthday to you, wondrous soul!
Thank you for coming here and being my daughter, my home, my heart.
Your life was amazing and such a gift to all who participated it.
Wherever you are, may you touch the grace and healing love you gave so freely here

I heard the saying that time heals all wounds
But your leaving created such a deep wound in my heart that time moving forward only deepens my sorrowful longing
In this ache there is comfort ~ old pictures, a familiar scent, a song, a memory ... a connection that once existed on earth and now only on the other side
I miss you forever - you are part of me, always were and always will be from the moon and back, this love is eternal
And as life moves forward I carry you, my thoughts, my meditations, my living until we meet again

Turning 12. Your birthday was celebrated for a week. You had two slumber parties (friday and saturday). You picked how you wanted to celebrate. At 12, you picked horseback ridin with 7 other people from your class. It was a blast. You were playing football that year as a defensive end. You were the only girl and it was a first for that mercer island team. You had the whole team over for pizza, ice cream and cake. The boys were hilarious when they gave you a gift from the team (a football).
Then we had a bike party where everyone rode marymoor park and had a picnic after. You lived your birthday week.
6th and 7th were fun grades for you. The classwork was way easy so you were always doing special projects for the teachers. You loved to give away your clothes and shoes and jewelry to anyone who wanted to borrow it. You played every sport and your dad coached most of them.
You bcame very good at the piano. You had lots of crushes on boys and girls. You used the terms, going out and making out when you told me about all your crushes and those of your friends. I found out thes terms meant two people liked each other - nothing more. So much to learn about growing up and pre adolescents

You gave everything away. It was amazing to watch. Your dad was the same way. The simplest items were your clothes. You and I would go shopping in late summer and you would delight in picking out your clothes from different sections of the store - some came from the womens department, some from the babies, some from the boys and some from the mens. We always had a wonderful time and you loved your expression of you through your clothes.
Coats were a big deal. You had to have several for the snow, rain, wind, sun. The coats disappeared first. Usually at school and I would notice another student wearing your coat and you would explain they liked the coat alot so you had to give it to them.
This went on for as long as you lived at home which was clear into your 20s. Our home was a hub for your friends. Every Friday and Saturday you had groups overnight and every sunday, I noticed your closet emptied. It took me a moment to realize you were giving your clothes away and I understood. You loved your friends. You also loved people and had/have a compassionate heart beyond the beyond. I did have to modify the clothes shopping which became a quarterly event and included part of your allowance.
You gave away more than clothes though. You would give away your lunch, your last dollar, your car, your bike. You never thought twice about the giving. It made sense to you (as it did your dad).
Your dad was the same way. He bought metal detectors and ended up, over time giving them away. He also gave his fishing boat away when we moved. He loved both metal detecting and fishing. yet he gave it all away - amazing.

When you were 14 and just finished 8th grade, we went to downtown Seattle and marched in the "Take Back the Night" march for women. It was awesome. We started at 7 pm and stayed until midnight marching, chanting, singing and listening to speakers. You turned to me with your eyes so sparkly with a fiery inspiration, "Mom, this is me! This is what I want to do!" Your energy was so amazing.
After that we searched out retreats, meetings, conferences that supported women. It drove us and we had a blast! - thank you precious daughter who has left too soon and who I miss every moment.

love
In my heart today, a universe of love for you-
sparkling, clear, easy to move into.
I sometimes pick up a star of sorrow,
not because I have stumbled on it,
but because I want to know its light again.
I search within the rays of brightness,
and always I find what I seek.
There are thousands of stars,
enough to cover my entire existence of life.
Every one of them precious.
Every one of them, a memory
of how it was to love you when you were alive.
Star of you waking in your crib, singing. pointing to light.
Star of you doing tricks on your bike.
Star of hiking together up cliffs.
Star of undone dishes and clothes strewn bedroom floors.
Star of long fingers playing beautiful music on a keyboard.
Star of you learning to drive and proudly owning your first car.
Star of your first job, first challenge to authority, first move away to independence.
Love is no less powerful for all this sorrow.
When I choose to go here, I notice how beautiful they are, all these stars,
burning fiercely through the currents of love.
I notice how the flame never stops.and miss you so much

On the bike path, an empty space
where you are not riding. At work,
a chair where you are not creating.
In a room, an empty space
where you are not. Not singing with your girls,
loving your wife, playing your music, philosophizing,
not eating noodles, not reading your complicated books.
Everywhere I am, there is a space you will never be.
Not in Portland, or Seattle or Olympia. Not in the trails with leaves falling or on the beach with the roaring ocean waves.
Not laughing with old and new friends. Watching football from the couch or from your downward dog yoga posture.
Not in these arms
and not in these words where you are
because you are not.
I would not fill any moment of emptiness
with anything else. They are anything
but empty, these places and spaces of you.

again be uttered.
We walked around this beautiful neighborhood in the PNW and talked about everything. Your angst at change and growth and desires. It went on and on. Watching you grow and become was wondrous. The way you walked into moments of great import; The way you could let go of the most heartbreaking experience with true peace; The way you would not be stopped when you had a goal; You would bite the shoe when it would not go on your foot - it didn't have to fit completely... just enough to allow you to walk and prance in the shoe you selected... you so loved shoes; You would bite the toy skis you were given when they did not get you down the mound of snow just like the big people's skis... we knew then we had to find someone to teach a 21/2 year old to ski; You would bite the book when you could not figure out the words. Reading was your great love before you discovered writing. Such an artist.

Because it is Thursday and I went into Portland and felt you everywhere-I miss you. Then it felt like you were right next to me. Breathing in the air and the energy of the city you loved. Almost as much as Seattle!
I miss your dancing and riding your bike and driving your car. "I like to go fast Mom!". Remember that? your laughter rising like sunlight when I would look at you in confusion at the latest fashion statement for a young butch person.
I miss your shoes. You loved shoes and had many. Though you had large feet, you never had any trouble finding just the right, comfortable pair of shoes.
I miss how you wanted- energetically, desperately and when the answer was "no". That want turned into peaceful surrender and acceptance. How much I learned about peaceful surrender in watching you.
I miss the razor sharpness of your words when you were unhappy and the cloud of your dissatisfaction. All of this disappearing in a wisp of a moment as you let go of grasping.
Tonight I crawl inside the missing and sprawl there like a woman washed up on shore,
spent, shocked, traumatized and grateful that you were in my life, you were my heart, you were my all. Love forever Mom

July 4th in Tennessee: We sat huddled together in the park and watched fireworks,
and as the sky glittered gold and red and silver and the humid air boomed
with the celebration,
you and I and Dad in rapture on the colors and designs against the night sky.
And the fireflies put on a show of their own, and no one I loved had died. It was so mystically magic. So grateful for those times.

On this day one year ago, I was told you had left. I went numb. I knew I had grieved for a long time. I thought the worst was over. Today... today... its as if its the first time and I can barely breathe. thinking of you, missing you. Unbearable pain, crushing heartbreak as I silently sob into the empty chasm of grieving a daughter.
One year later, I remember joyful moments... now tethered to me like a shadow.
I remember sun warm on our backs as we swam in the ocean and hiked the Issaquah Trails...
I remember even then knowing happiness doesn´t last.
I remember telling myself, remember this, remember these moments.
And I remember. It´s so beautiful it hurts. I remember all the joys always

Thanks for all
You've done
I've missed you for so long
Every time I realize you are not here, I feel such an ache inside. I can't believe you are gone. You still live In me. I know we talk in my dreams and in my mind when I am not dreaming. Its been a year. I thought this would be easier. My heart is even more broken than 12 months ago. Smashed beyond anything I could imagine. When I was told I would love you so deeply, I could be wounded beyond healing, I didn't believe them... now I am living this agony Klaire Bear... did you know?
I feel you in the wind, in every step I take, all my thoughts and actions - you are there love of my soul and heart. Mom

We sang together alot. You sang from the time you were born. Every morning, you would wake and begin to sing - even before you could talk. Your music grew and grew. You played the piano, you wrote songs and you sang. We sang in the car and at home all the time. We could do rounds and harmonize. We would call your grandparents and sing to them for the holidays. What fun! You took special voice lessons from April and learned how to sing from the heart. Your music was part of who you were Love. Such a wondrous person you are. Love Mom

There is not a moment that passes where you are not in my heart, my prayers and my thoughts. I even dream about you. I miss you more than I could miss anything. I spent time with a young person yesterday who struggled with communication. I remembered your toolbox of crayons that you and I would use when I did presentations to parents of troubled youth. You were so alive and present to these suffering parents and so generous with your play ideas with art and writing. You are an amazing soul. Wherever you are, peace, healing love of my soul.

just did thanksgiving and christmas and thought of you throughout all these days. We would play softball after the thanksgiving dinner/lunch/brunch that your dad made. We went to the park kiddy corner to our house and there were neighbors gathering to play. After several hours we would go back to the house and rest. Then to the movies and we were usually the only ones in the theatre!
Christmas was making special gifts for your friends and going caroling with them to different houses. Christmas morning was the stocking hunt. Even after you moved out and had a significant other the stocking hunt happened - just with a friend included. You are so missed! Love you so much and wherever you are, may there be blessings and love all around you surrounded in the divine light of the holy sophia.

You are so missed. I walked through Portland last week and thought of how much you loved riding your bike on the trails and being enlightened and energized by the beauty. Soul of my heart, sometimes it is so hard to write or move in this grief I know. We were always so connected. I feel you near all the time and in my dreams, we talk and travel and do all the crazy and mystical things we did here. Love you love you love you and all of heart and my soul walks with you on your journey on the other side of human existence.

You loved music. Wherever we were we had a piano for you to play with. You created your own pieces, and they were beautiful. You were a natural.
When you were old enough you started lessons, which you did not like but you stayed with until 8th grade. You learned enough to get you where you wanted to go.
You also learned the recorder and played around with a guitar. You and I sang all the time.
While you were in you early years - 3 - 7, you danced and sang so wondrously, without inhibition. Then we got into songs with groups and rounds using folk and old timey pieces. Christmas was a favorite time for you to sing we spent many Christmas seasons doing caroling around our neighborhood and to all your friends´ houses.
With Waldorf as our base, we sang throughout the seasons, and this made everything different and joyful, and you were so engaged in the rhythm. We harmonized beautifully and would make phone calls for birthdays and anniversaries and holidays to different family members and friends and sing a special song for them. There was one you picked for Grandpa Collins - "The Old Violin".
As you grew, you moved into different genres and gently kept in mind what your close family members loved. You introduced me to so many artists like Enya and Lorena McKenna, Josh Groban and more.
We went to different concerts at the Gorge while you were at Evergreen College in Olympia that were amazing with the sound effects and just the sound of the musicians. Our favorites were the female bands and soloists you introduced me and others to.
Then there were the concerts in LA we went to with Anna and you and then some of Andrew Lloyd Weber's work in Seattle.
From your beginnings you heard the music of the angels and found the same sound all around you. Wondrous soul that you are.

I am at Ocean Shores where we went every Christmas until you were 20 years old.
So many memories- you on a horse for a moment which you quickly switched to a go kart, flying kites, walking the beach and finding shells and sand dollars.
The IGA is still here where you and I found movies to rent (VHS), bought t shirts and movie food
So much fun Klaire Bear. Love u beyond the moon

Names seem insignificant when souls encounter
I need to send these words off and offer them a fighting chance
Divine guidance will show us the way - trust the process love
I may have doubted you and I
But I will never question destiny
I have to let the road unfold
Yet a part of my soul gets ripped off with every step I take
We have been blessed with lives connected and full of wonder
Visions of the future and the past
And I wouldn´t trade any part for the world
For if nothing else, we´ll always be as us
Different essence, same mission and intertwined lives
Our pact was to lead each other to the light when things got tough
So I had to come get you - something to do with the remnants of a past life
And you had to come get me
I´m deeply grateful for the time, the presence you brought...
Finding its way into my life
We moved and changed and offered all we ought to
And the rest is history and the next is to come
we´ll meet again heart of my heart, daughter of my soul

went bike riding yesterday and you felt so close as I rode through Vancouver. Remembering our trips all over Washington. We spent a summer finding all the hidden parks on Mercer Island. There were 12 all along the waterfront and some of them were so hidden. It was like a treasure hunt. We also went beyond Mercer Island.
There was a ride through Kirkland and some vineyards that took 12 hours, Mary Moore Park bike path and it was so beautiful. You appreciated the beauty that is the PNW. Sometimes you would just sit and gaze. We could do that for long periods of time, without words. Magic summers and magic times.

your dad:
Today is Father's Day. It brings up so many memories. Every night when your dad would come home from work, you would hide as you heard his car pull up. He played "find the Klaire Bear" for at least 20 minutes and then spent time with you hearing about your day, fixing a toy or playing one of your many games. You loved to play games with him because you made all the rules and he went along with them. The rules would change with every change in the game.
He also taught you to drive from the age of 3. He coached you on getting and holding a job. He drove you around until you got your first job at McDonalds and then helped you get the Jiffy Lube and Security job. He went to every one of your games or activities. He was your constant cheerleader. He coached your basketball team. He made sure you always had a car that worked and would give up his own for you. He was a great dad to you and loved you tons.

you are so missed today. Do you remember all the times you came into the bedroom and tucked me into bed when you thought i was asleep.
You would tuck me in and kiss me on my cheek. I loved those moments. You did this through high school and the years after you spent at home.

I went to Seattle yesterday. As I stepped into the airport at SeaTac, I remembered how much you loved to travel. It was you standing with me at the airport and noticing everything, missing everything. Then we stepped outside and saw Mt Rainier. The memories flooded back. All the hikes we took on Rainier sometimes just the two of us. Other times we took your friends : Nels, Jordan, Sarah, Morgan

You were/are a writer. You always had a journal. You graduated to a blog as soon as they were available online. Your blog reflected your deep feelings so you used a pretend name. One of your favorite names to use was "Daria". I can't find your blog online, it is well hidden as you meant it to be of course. I am sure there are lots of followers, there always were on your blogs. Many identified with you. Love and Hugs mom

Vision Quest
Every year for your birthday or Christmas or graduation, you could pick any place you would like to go. You had been reading the Peaceful Warrior, Back to Eden, Atlas Shrugged, Kurt Vonnegut and others and wanted to try Vision Questing in Eastern Washington. We did it, fasting for three days and spending a week out in the desert among the ancient medicine wheels.

Me and Mom
You and I were always together. One of my jobs as a Public Health Nurse was to work with schools, parent groups and other related groups on childhood behavioral, mental and emotional health. This involved classes, presentations and demonstration groups. You attended all of these. We traveled all over the Northwest. I gave lectures, workshops and did individual case management for children and families who struggled with behavioral, mental, emotional challenges. You loved the puppets I used in the classes and the different break out groups filled with anxious parents, teachers and administrators trying to find an answer to dealing with a child who just did not "fit". The art and importance of play you experienced as a child and through the eyes and hearts of parents, teachers and playgroups.
You also attended all my classes on basic childhood development and growth and anything else I taught out there in the community.
We hiked, sang, put on parties and overnights for your friends and wanna be friends. We had similar music and movie likes and followed them together. You moved beyond me with reading. You found a fascination with Stephen King, the Peaceful Warrior (you wanted to be one), Atlas Shrugged and more.
Every Friday was your day to have overnights or go out with friends. It was usually some activity at a book/coffee shop in seattle and then back to our house with your friends for pizza and conversations long into the night.
One favorite activity, every year at least once but more like 3 times, we would go somewhere adventurous. We did a Vision Quest in Eastern Washington for 7 days. We went to Whidbey Island for a Moon Ceremony and Sweat Lodge for Women. We traveled to Iona Scotland and spent 2 weeks traveling and experiencing the rugged ancient land of antiquities. Our adventures continues throughout your short life from retreats - both lush and austere, to music concerts, to yoga camps.

You and I went to Whidbey Island to a full moon circle with a lot of women - interesting.
You were in love with a boy named Matt in 2nd -4th grade.
You fell in love with a girl (I can´t remember her name) in the 8th grade and then at the 8th grade graduation you wore a strapless dress that had everyone aghast - you looked 21 and beautiful. You had convinced me that strapless was the dress everyone was wearing but you were the only one. Morgan was a good friend. Some of these friends you still had 12 years ago.
You went to an art high school to begin with and you took the bus to the campus. On the bus, you gave out your phone number to possiblilites and of course they called and were they surprised when I would tell them you were only 14.
You had a friend named Bear that we had over for dinner several times. I never knew what happened to him...
You brought a lot of different friends home for dinner with quite a variety of stories. Most of them were in some kind of angst with parents. You told me it was fun to watch the interplay between them and your parents.
Your friends liked to come over to see you and hang out and you tried to give them whatever they needed including your clothes, your lunch, your transportation. It didn´t matter if you had to go without, you gave them what you had. We had to replace a lot of clothes.
You really didn´t get into competition. Though you liked to play. It looked like you like to play to play and winning was not the end goal. Just playing together was great.
Your first love, I think was Angie in High School. That was torrid and intense.
You liked after hours clubs in Seattle and all the book stores/coffee shops you could hang in with people. Steven King was an author you inhaled.
All of your jobs wanted to move you up and expand your job but you often did not stay to do that. You had your own idea of where to be in the work world.
One job was as a person who changed oil at one of the jiffy lubes. Another was with security, another was with Nintendo. One in California was in a medical office. All of them wanted more of you.
You played football and baseball. No softball. Your dad went to every game and cheered you on. Your coaches loved you and wanted you to keep coming out.
When your dad came home from work you would hide and he would spend a very long time trying to find you. This happened every night. You would squeal with delight when he found you and hug him and ask for a book or a game.
You loved "boogers and chi chis" from McDonalds. You would jump up and down in the car in anticipation of Micky Ds food. We didn´t use a car seat very long. Most of the time you were perched on your dad´s knee, helping to drive. Good thing we lived in remote areas where there was very little traffic.
When your were two, I took you to a park with a couple of other mothers and their toddlers. I turned to speak to one friend and when I turned back around you were at the top of a very tall slide. You were not frightened. In fact you were laughing and clapping your hands with delight. I caught you just in time as you hurtled down a very steep slide.

brief memories from childhood:
As a baby of 15 months, You came to Montana from Michigan. We traveled a long way by plane.
You loved Tang and scrambled eggs at your home in Michigan with Marti and your grandparents.
You loved music and sang everyday all the time, even before you spoke.
You loved books. We read to you every night before bed as many books as you wanted. You would hold your eyes open when it got late because you did not want the stories to end. You tried to read all the time. When you couldn´t read them, you bit them. You taught yourself to read by 5.
You loved shoes. When we went to the mall you would take the shoes on the display and put them on, no matter the size. In Montana, you had boots that you loved to wear. Shoes always came on first with you. Nothing else mattered.
You loved driving. Your dad began letting you steer, in Montana, at 3 years old. We found a wooden car that you spent hours in, pretending to drive. Then you got a hot wheels. You could do donuts off the drive way. You like the hot wheels more than the electric car we bought you. You would race up and down the sidewalk for quite awhile and then pretend to get under the "hood" and fix the "car" with your hot wheels.
You loved your cabbage patch redhead more than any other doll. You talked to her all the time about going to bed, eating, reading her stories.
You loved to play at both a workbench, which your dad built you and at a toy kitchen we put together.
You did not like swimming.
You loved gymnastics so much, you would wet your leotard rather than take a break to go to the bathroom.
You loved free dancing, not ballet, with lots of mirrors to watch yourself in from the time you were a baby.
You loved Waldorf, the art, music, ritual and friends.
One of your friends, from St Monica´s, was Morgan. Whenever you two got together, trouble followed. Do you remember getting stuck in Seattle with a snow storm and hanging out in a building overnight?
You always found the Christmas presents, no matter where we hid them.
You loved camping and fishing. It was amazing to watch you as a toddler as you patiently waited for the fishing line to snap.
You loved to help your dad with his house projects. One time you tried to bite the wall that your dad was using tape and mud on. You tried to bite it because he had given you some tape and mud and you couldn´t get the tape to stay flat... so you bit it. You pushed the lawn mower, used a drill and saw and hammer on many of the house projects going on.
You were musically gifted. We put all kinds of musical instruments around for you to play with. You did not like piano lessons but when you played it was magical.

Horses: you had your first experience with horses in Syracuse New York at the Weigands. You were cautious around their horses but curious. You tried lessons with Katie McCaffrey 3 times. The third time we went, while you were brushing the horse, she turned around and nipped you. That was the end of horses for you. While we were in Tennessee, we had a Walker named Magic but you would not go near her... ever.

you and your dad: your dad was always giving you new experiences. He started with the tool kit and letting you work on projects with him. From twisting nuts into bolts with a socket wrench to hammering a finish nail into a piece of framing, you loved it all. He taught you to drive, took you on multiple job interviews and encouraged you through all of them. He was the first one to show up at all your functions from piano, dance, gymnastics, baseball, basketball, football, drama. He even coached one of your basketball teams. He was always there for you no matter what. When you and Ashen had car problems or plumbing problems or carpentry problems, your dad showed up in his overalls with a truck full of tools.

You and Rev Marthelia named you "Claire" - "light bearer". You kept that name until high school when you modified the spelling and added some sparklies to it - Klaire, Klare or Klaire Bear. Looking for how your emerging identity could be reflected in your name. You used Pseudo names on blogs too - "Dreamer", "Koincidence", "Daria". I am sure there were more. Lots more as you experimented and explored identity reflection in this world of constructs and rigid thinking.

you always woke up singing, no matter what. Most mornings you had a stomach ache from allergies but you always woke up singing. It was as if you could see angels flying around your room and you were talking to them.

loved you from before time. We were set to be together, the way we were together. Nothing can change or alter what was and did become. I don´t know why sometimes we try to change things, change reality, truth, feelings. We all do. Maybe it´s about living in the present with compassion and that blurs all the constructs and biases set up by ourselves, society, culture... scarey thing to let go of -constructs and biases.
Doesn´t matter. You came and I was stunned and always behind in time and awareness of what you brought. The love and the total unconditional acceptance of me and your dad. Thank you. We were blessed to have you in our lives. I kept trying to catch up, I don´t think I ever did. You brought sunshine and light and love to our lives and we were better for the time we had with you. You do that wherever you go. Every place you worked, went to school or hung out at, wanted you more, wanted you to stay and stay. You gently moved on.
Now, your time is almost done here and the world will miss the ever physical present point of light your are. Yet you will go on and be a more brilliant light from the other side. I will see you there. I am there a lot these days, watching you, pouring grace, light and peace into your heart, life and home.
Love you to the moon and beyond my klaire bear

In Syracuse, your best friends. We were at their house, or they were at ours. Phoebe, Finda and Klaire in the picture. We rode horses at their house and played with cats, dogs and chickens. There was always so much to do.

You loved cats. You always had one growing up. Mu was your last one before you moved to Olympia and away from home.
