Today is a beautiful morning.
The crisp feeling of autumn is in the air,
if only delighting us for a few days.
I'm enjoying a cup of coffee, reflecting on beautiful memories.
Five years ago today, all too soon, we lost a dear friend,
and the world lost an incredible woman who touched the lives
of not only her family and circle of friends,
but a community of thousands.
A month later, we lost my mom, and her remaining sibling,
both incredible women in their ownright
who had lived long, fruitful lives.
I don't share this for sympathy,
but rather to honor these special women
and to keep their memories alive.
"All the love, all the dead, all the people we've known.
They are the rivers that feed our sea of souls. If we refuse to remember them, that sea will dry up too."
~ Nina George, The Little Paris Bookshop

Today and always, I wish for my memories of these three
incredible women, as well as others gone from
my life, to flourish within my heart.
