Although Kara was one of the most positive and joyous people
I've ever known, one of the many things I loved about her was our shared black
humor. If I was running late for a Mardi Gras parade this year, she would text
me and tell me something like she was having stomach pains and I should hurry up
and get there. After her brain surgery, she asked me if it was horrible that
she was sort of excited about losing 15 pounds. At some point along the way in
the past 16 months since her diagnosis, "Three Little Birds"
became our song. We were constantly texting each other that "every little
thing's gonna be alright." The fact that Bob Marley died of melanoma was
not lost on us. Now, when I listen to it, weird as it may sound, it feels like
a message from Kara Lynn Morgan. Every little thing is gonna be alright, although it will be a
while. I miss you. I love you.
