Charity’s last post on Facebook on the 13th of February, 2019 reads:
Friends, please excuse my long absence. A lot has happened. We bought a little building in Baltimore. We live on two levels and have two other little spaces that wonderful people live in. We’re getting a dog.
I also got cancer again and again and again. We’re fighting hard and hoping to win. But I’m also finding time and space at home for the kind of quiet creation necessary for an artist that I haven’t had in a long while.
We think we’re looking for all sorts of things in life: wealth, recognition, success. But in truth, we all have the same wants and needs.
Once our basic necessities are satisfied, we want to be seen, to be heard and mostly, to be loved by our sister sojourners in life.
If appearances mean anything, I look *pretty* bad at the moment. But however beautiful or bleak the view life offers in the moment, it is made beautiful by kindness and love.
Happy Galentine’s day💚💙💚
May her soul rest in perfect peace.
