"Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories
to
the inevitable dusk."
~ Susan Scarf Merrell ~
Memorial Day, and also, my sister's Birthday.
They don't fall together every year, but this year they do.
It's a time of loss and memories and gratitude.
She would have been 53 if she had lived....
And as for me,
I am very much alive,
I am very much alive,
and blessed beyond measure
to be here,
now,
unbound and uncompromised,
living in the land of the free.
I honor those who died.
