Hi Carole,
It's Celeste's birthday today, she working, we celebrated last week.
I've been with a cold. Just awoke from a nap, dreamed of you, about 15-years-old. A smallish silver-gray satin chair was being delivered to you, the fancy kind placed in front of a dressing table .....
My dear daughter and sister on a day together.

Hi Carole,
Another Yum Kipper without you and my tears are streaming .... listened to Ravel's 'Pavane for a Dead Pincess' and cried even more. i remember our listening to it together and how excited you were to have discovered and shared it with me all those many years ago. Decades now.
Yom Kippur blew over us this year, Curt's pacer replacement one day, then the next Hurricane Ian on the West Coast ....
MIss you my chereised sister ....
PS: Actually, the kids don't buy into the mythology anymore, and what i miss so dearly is the hoopla, the party, our sisterhhood.
Graduating Grandsons!
At Nana's and Curt's home. Pulling images from messages because don't know how to access photos in phone from computer ....
Miguel's 18 birthday, plus high school graduation.
And William's 5th grade graduation.
Celeste, Miguel, William with a college gift for Miguel.

Happy Birthday, Carole.
Generous, kind, creative. More than a loving sister – my other half.

Hi Carole,
Curt and I cheered 2022. He is a true love of thirty-plus years now, yet I am growing ever more wobbly in spirit, and heath. Ours was a subdued evening – superb being together; frightening and thoughtful as New Year's are I suppose. It's always the year to come that scares the waddens out of me.
May / Might been exposed to Covid-Omicron, no biggie, half the world has been! Update: Slick tested postive and we shared so many hugs the other day....wonderful heartful hugs from a ten-year old!
Missing you always, January 3 your birthday.... you behind us on the fireplace mantle. A mighty toast to you my dear sister. And a yearly swap, a fresh box of Russell Stover, dark chocolate this time, under your picture frame.
