A dear friend stopped by unexpectedly to bring me a small gift - a white calla lily. She had no way of knowing this is what my parents grew in their yard. When my husband and I were married five years ago, I carried a single large white calla lily in remembrance of them. Thanks to Claire, I'm feeling closer to Dad and Blanche. It's a calming thing, a tender mercy, a sentinel.
Sentinel - someone whose job is to stand and keep watch.
