Colors of Goodbye

SEPTEMBER AND HER HUSBAND, Scott, have been married for thirty-two years and have five grown children and two grandkids—and counting.
September grew up on an old dairy farm in Issaquah, Washington, and thus prefers Levi’s over Calvin Klein. She works in her garden bare-handed at the expense of her nails and finds it life-giving to listen to the stories of others who are navigating seasons of loss. She serves as writer/content developer in the pastoral response department at Willow Creek Community Church, where she also teaches workshops on parenting, grief/loss, and marital restoration.
September finds deep satisfaction in building things from scratch, finding just the right sentence to close the scene, and savoring time with friends until the coffee has long grown cold.
September and Scott live just outside of Chicago.
