When he was little, I used to take is binkie...to get it back, he would have to give me a hug, a kiss, tell me he loves me, and tell me that I was his favorite aunt. Every time I tortured him, he would comply because he knew I would always play baseball with him or watch "Charlie Brown Christmas Special" a million times (because it was his fav.) So today is a sweet day because I celebrate his life :)

ReplyDeleteI don't know how often you come back here to Rio, but next time you do check out Misty's tree in front of the library. It is supposed to be a weeping cherry, but it isn't weeping... it is reaching up to the sky, to the clouds, the stars! Every time I walk past that tree, I think of my wonderful friend and how I miss her, how I miss all of my sisters.
