Painted for my husband Russ.

BB King sang,

When the night has come

and the land is dark

and the moon is the only light we’ll see

I won’t be afraid as long as you stand by me.

If the sky we look upon

should tumble and fall

or the mountain should crumble to the sea

I won’t cry.. as long as you stand by me.

The words of this song promise no fear and no tears. As our sky darkens or Mount Timpanogos slides into the front yard, I may feel a bit afraid and I would definitely cry. But I’m always braver, stronger and more complete while standing next to you.
