A few tears are shed yet again as I hug them both goodbye.
It always happens that way. I miss them the moment I drive away- that last
tight hug ends so soon while I wish I could hold on to it forever.
It was yet another enchanting encounter- an extra-long weekend
of fun and connection. My heart strings
could not stretch any tighter with the amount of love and gratitude I feel for
both of my sisters, Diane and Jane.
We have been together all of my life- some 56 years- as I am
the “baby” in the family. How I earned that lucky spot, I will probably never
know but many props and great gratitude to the Universe for setting that one up
so well for me.
They had enough love in their hearts as very young girls to
welcome me home and help teach me the ways of the world.
My sister Diane often took on the role of the matriarch…babysitting
me when our Mom had to work late, sewing me flannel nightgowns which always
thrilled me, baked Christmas cookies with me, and made the best frosting
ever! She was such a fun sister growing
up. She remains a fun and amazing woman. Her
kindness and generosity knows no bounds.
My sister Jane took me to yoga class, and let me camp under
the stars with her on a road trip. She took me to my first concert! I believe my
sense of adventure stemmed from her influence. Now- she is my steadfast
companion on our spiritual retreats, and is a treasure to so many, bringing her happy and centered attitude and energy with her everywhere she goes.
It is an honor have these sweet siblings in my life- always
there providing support and precious presence to me- even on those days when I
might not be showing my best self. It
matters not- they love me anyway.
It is a priceless gift to have two best friends’ who’s DNA
and essence matches and blends with mine. It is a triad of perfection.
I may not live close to them geographically, but our hearts are
connected in a way not tied to time and space. I recognize and appreciate how
blessed I am. I am overfilled with gratitude- and when the tears do spill over
when we say good-bye- it’s ok…because I know we will see each other again soon. I rest better each night… knowing these two
angels are just a quick phone call or a flight away. Their souls never stray
too far from mine.

With deep gratitude I surround them with all of the love and
blessings this amazing universe has to offer and bow down with deep and
heartfelt gratitude. Thank you Diane and Jane!
