Birthdays may come and go mine mostly forgotten due to her illness falling on the wrong day. Maybe it was a guarantee to be together at my special time. Tomorrow is her day, the one that we will no longer share and doubt fills my spine stiffening me to the beliefs I once held. No longer there to advise, no longer there for me to rub her sore back or thinning arms... or to pretend everything will be okay. It is hard sharing when no one is there to share with except in memory... but I will do my best even all alone, because I will always remember the last moments that meant so much. ~~*~~ And until I can no longer speak or think or feel... I will leave you a reminder that I have not forgotten...ever. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) |

Yes Maureen it will be difficult this year.. but, knowing you, you will manage.. and we shall remember also this sad year for you. Perhaps if you release some helium balloons to the sky your sister would like that? Just a thought...sending heart hugs your way M. I'm here if you need me. ~Autumn..the year's last, loveliest smile.~ |

My belief is that you will not be remembering alone, but in the heart you two are there together still. Celebrate the best you can and remember, your love and memories for her and your gift to her as well as hers to you. You expressed yourself well in this and I do hope for you some peace be found deep within. |

Marge, one of the last things we did together..or rather she had me do because she couldn't was to make rings and necklaces on wire with seed beads...I spent 8 hours sitting by her side doing that for her the next to last week of her life...at the end of the evening she said good...now they are yours and gave them all to me. Today I wrapped a river stone in one of the necklaces making it almost look like a spider and placed it where her headstone will someday soon be... I stopped to see her husband and give him a birthday card since his is in 2 days and he told me he saw it there...it was the last craft we did together...and I thought I would leave a piece of it with her. hugs M |

If you don't mind I would like to share a little story with you. My sister had become over the years my very best friend. We hadn't seen each other in over 20 years, but becoming close over the years by phone. In the mean time mom had died after a long illness, my sis always there to help me with my tears and frustration. Never ever judging me or telling whatI should do....just listen. Then I met a fella oh he did sweep me off my feet. In time as I recovered from my mother, then he left for another. Again I called my sis. May I come to Texas to visit and cry, I live in Ohio you see. So to Texas I did go.Her kids made me so welcome, my sis and I would stay up all night and talk, what a grand time we both had after all those years. When I left to come home, after about two days I called her house ...no answer. 4 days go by finally I get a hold of someone. The same day I left, my dear, dear sis has died the same day I was leaving on the train back home. The pain so intense. Later my son said she was waiting for me to come, now she could go into a peaceful sleep knowing I would be all right. Your poem brought back that memory of my sister, Lola. I just wanted to share. Have to go now cause all of a sudden I have decided to cry. Can't see the silly screen. Loads of hugs coming your way.

It is hard sharing when no one is there to share with Oh, lady... words were never more true... or more heart touching... Wishing you peace as you face this tough time... |

There is such deep sadness underneath these words M, my heart sinks when i read your melocholic words and my human nature protectiveness kicks in...a fine poem but very sad..thank you for sharing your heart....
