Kate was a comet. She blazed through life with an infectious energy, collecting friends like flowers. She was athletic, competitive, and fiercely social, her laughter the constant soundtrack of their home. Anna, on the other hand, was like a quiet, deep river. She found her solace in the pages of books, in the silent company of nature, and in the art of creation. She was a homebody, her world rich and vibrant within the walls of their house and garden. But their bond was the bedrock of their existence. An unseen, unbreakable thread connected them. One could not imagine a world without the other.
