When I took this picture, I was standing at the exact same spot I was 5 years ago. Only then I was feeling so sad, numb, unexplainable pain.........How would I ever celebrate another New years without Wendy? I didn't think I could at the time......
.....now 5 years later, I am filled with gratitude for having known Wendy for 40 years :) She was so funny to be around - always laughing, joking and making you feel good. I only have to close my eyes and think back to our childhood and I instantly smile a little bit inside.
Wendy's death taught me to live. Really live. Notice the small things. Remember a friend. Do something that makes you laugh. Be silly. Stop caring what other people think, and dance. Dance to the beat of your own drum.....only YOU can create your happiness. Live.
Rest in Peace my sweet sister and know that I think of you every day and it is always followed by a smile.........December 31, 2011. (*12/18/06) miss you.
