Another cheat day...I am occasionally allowed to do that! Some days my day is just about something that I can't take a picture of...like today.
My day is about remembering. Remembering my sweet Aunt Debi who died 7 years ago today. Seven years is a long time...I never got to tell her that I was pregnant for the 2nd time when she died...and that the baby was a little girl who loves horses just like she did. But I will always remember my Aunt Debi and the letters she'd write me...her handwriting was so different. You could spot something she wrote from a mile away. I will remember how she laughed. I will remember how she loved her animals. I will remember how she hugged like she really meant it.
My day is about hope. I am hopeful that my Aunt Debi is sitting in a field of grass in heaven watching her horses eat and run around. I am hopeful that she has a peaceful smile as she enjoys the life she has now. I am hopeful that she forgave me for not coming and seeing her before she died...I am hopeful that all the times I go to her grave and pull weeds while telling her about life...I hope she hears.
My day is about love. I loved my Aunt Debi and while I am thankful she didn't have to suffer any longer I will always miss her. And I will always love her. I will always be thankful for the place she had in my life.
