A little chat with my son (Sylas Boesten) about lessons learned from losing his mama (Ingrid Boesten) to cancer and how to hold hope and loss in the same hand. I also share a story about one of the most beautiful things Ingrid did a couple of months before she died.
At Sylas’s suggestion, I did a cover of the Coldplay song “Let Somebody Go” on the Fender Rhodes. This is a dedication post on the anniversary of Ingrid’s death (Dec. 7, 1972 – May 16, 2014).

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.” – Louise Erdrich
