November 22: birthday

.

My sister Suzy would have turned 68 today. She never saw 55.

She loved kitties. 

 

She loved Shakespeare. 

She loved and made fudge frosting for birthday cakes, 

and I still use her recipe for quiche. 

 

 

Her life was a wild ride. Wilder than I could probably ever imagine.

 What do you say? 

A life WAS. 

So many moments, intakes of breath, of holding breath, 

making mistakes, making leaps of faith

making a difference

the beliefs, the thoughts, the words, the deeds.

The things undone

What can I say to help you understand?

I can't even understand myself.
