I'm so glad you all enjoyed the poem. It was very personal for me, but if it comforts, then that is good.

Orchid, do you have any particular childhood memories of your sister? Were you close as children?

This must be so very hard for your nieces and nephews ( don't know how many)this time of year. I hope they are enjoying the Freshmen year at the university.

You mentioned that you have moved because of a new job. Seems like alot of changes have taken place in your life recently.

I am so enjoying my peacefull life right now. I feel like I'm recovering. Sometimes it was alot for me, between taking care of my mother, my granddaughter and working full time. For the first time in years, I finally feel relaxed.
