I missed her birthday
July 19, 1942
Yesterday would have been her 70th
She passed away many years ago at a much younger age than was her right to do,
but the choice wasn't in her hands.
What was in her hands was what she did with her life
While we disagreed on many things, we did agree that to sit idle was not an option
We both had such energy that had to put into something
....anything....
but that energy had to be used - used to think or read or create....teach, ride horses, run, skip rope, dance or gather flowers from the garden.
I gathered flowers from my garden this morning
and thought about my sister.
Marty, what a poignant and touching tribute to your sister, when we lose loved ones, it's a huge gap in our soul.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers in remembrance of her.

Many Hugs, Marty.
