I do remember both Linda and Val, and how important they were in your life. It seems to me that now that we are in our sixties and our parents are gone, that sibling relationships become even more important, giving me anchors to the past and grounding me somehow.
This is beautiful. I don't have blood sisters, but I have a sisterhood of friends I've known since I was 12 years old. They have been there for me, even when I left them for awhile. We are all getting ready to spend several days together for our 55th birthdays this year. My story is completely different than each of their stories, yet we love each other unconditionally.
I have 5 sisters and was lucky enough to have two who had my back at all times. Your piece captured how we are different, yet devoted to the full expression of our personhood.

They were and are, still, Patty. I agree. Age, wisdom and loss weave us closer together.

I’m happy you have chosen the right women to walk with you, Michele. It makes all the difference.
Delays are simply how she arrives - LOVE THIS!!!
