The New Skirt


this new skirt was a gift
a gift from her older sister
Lady May

Lady May went away for 4 days
4 long days....
she was missed tremendously

only half and hour after her departure
Mj confessed how mush she was missing her

during those 4 days
she tried to engage with the others
she was much quieter than usual
without her attachment piece

and I would often find her wandering
without direction
(and believe me, she always has direction)
and I could see how
lost she was without her
Lady May

it is good to stretch ourselves
to work on other relationships
to mix up the dynamics

to also see how much you value someone when
they are gone from your daily life

I remind them often
that I wish so much for my sister
I wish she was still here
I remind them that she died
and we could lose eachother
in a minute
starting to teach them young
that each day is a gift
not to taken for granted
to be so very thankful in every
moment

God is Good

  2. There you are sweetie! I've been dealing with some serious food intolerances since last year - hopefully some of my recipes will help with your little ones. Sure do miss you! Drop by my blog or send me an email when you can.

    Hugs,
    Marianne :)
