I watched as the leaves turned to their colorful hues;
I remember watching out the window taking in the views;
Squirrels scampering around trees, a bird taking a peanut from my hand;
So much wildlife to see on our little piece of land;
It brings back fond memories of my sister and I;
Many times we would watch the wildlife and the stars in the night sky;
Over eight years in age apart we were;

Pieces of my sister's life that I find myself clearing from her room today. Feeling like a jackal feasting on the carcass before its victim is dead and before the ground is even cold. But, it needs to be done and decisions need to be made. What to keep? What to pass on to family? What to donate to someone in need? As I go through her lifetime collection of things, I find old letters she wrote when she was in the service and away from home. I find a piece of a movie theater ticket. I turn...

Even though my sister was about 8 ½ years older than me, I have many memories about her and of her. I remember my Mom telling me about my sister being born 2 months early. In those days, they didn’t tell my Mom about how to tell if she was in pre-term labor. But, my Mom knew something wasn’t right. So Dad took Mom to the hospital along with my brother sitting in the front seat. Little did my Mom know, but my sister was determined to do things her own way even from that time. My sister was...
