Very recently I lost one of my best friends to AIDS. She was also my oldest sister, Lizzie. While with her in her last days she gave my cousin and I one last beautiful gift...Serenpece. Serene happened to be my sister's best friend and now to me she is a new sister. She can never be anything less. So, when I prepared to return to Ohio she emailed me an invite here, and I gladly accept.
So, although I miss Lizzie more than I can say, I am so honored for her gift of Serene. Just like my sister to know I'd always need an oldest sister to try and keep me from really trying to set those who annoy me on fire with my mind. Hasn't worked yet but I don't give up easily.
always,
Sandy
