isa anthology
This is my anthology to Isa. Isa is my Spanish Angel, who had to fly back to Spain to spread her blessings over everypne there. I miss her dearly.
Isa came to UT as a "visiting researcher" in the English department, but her disguise didn't fool me. Nope-- I saw right through it. Isa was actually sent by God to come and love me during a really rough time. She's good at what she does.
Isa and I went on many adventures. Before leaving Spain, Bart gave her a list of places in Austin that she had to see (which consisted of coffee-shops and eateries, of course) and after a few revisions on my part, we had quite a few stops.
One night Isa and I stayed up talking about life and relationships. I've never had a conversation like that. She brought so much life experience and understanding to the table, something I don't experience having friends my own age. I love that she listened so intently, as silly as my contribution was.
I taught Isa what it means to be an Austinite and a true Texan, and Isa taught me what it means to really be a friend.

Isa touched us all. What an awesome woman!!!
Isa -- you brought such true happiness to my daughter's life during a time that I thought happiness was not achievable for her. Only God can send an angel, so we all know from where you came. Thank you for coming to Texas (and most thanks to God), and for sharing yourself so freely with us and, especially, my Lindsey.
Forever in our hearts. And the phrase that got us through Lindsey's sojourn in Europe last summer ... "Loving you from afar" ...
