# 6 Felling Sequoia


Sequoia, was the nickname given to my husband Dick when we were on a trip to Central America. At 6'5" he towered over most of our Nicaraguan friends. Unfortunately over the course of our marriage he has been plagued with multiple physical problems. His latest was a tumor in his salivary gland. Fortunately it was benign and did not effect the nerves that control the facial muscles. That was happy news that allowed him to dodge yet another bullet. However this last operation, coupled with all the others has taken its toll. This piece is about him and where he has been cut. He was feeling overwhelmed by yet another operation and a bit down, note the dark gels. I'm the second piece of wood with the lighter gels trying to encourage and hold him up.
