Last Wednesday my 6 month old grandaughter passed away. Possibly Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Two years ago on the same date my teen son passed away. These moments challenge us spiritually in ways we can never imagine until we are there. A well known artist in Japan and a good Canadian friend sent me a sculpted dragon (usually sells for $5,000.00 USD) in honor of my son. I was told that many Japanese believe the human spirit after death soars with dragons. It was the most beautiful cross cultural spiritual gift I have ever seen. Regardless of our differences in culture, language and spiritual beliefs, we have created a cultural bridge of love and understanding from Japan, Canada and the Caribbean. This year I am on a Dragon Boat Racing Team in the Pacific Northwest USA. I dedicate this season to my preciosa Fatima Rose and to my son Rolandito.
