Forgetting Someone

Forgetting someone is like forgetting to turn off the light in the backyard so it stays lit all the next day
But then it is the light that makes you remember.

The Birthday Card

This is what the birthday card Heather sent to me said:



She's the one
you've known forever.
The one you go to
for honest advice
and genuine support.
The one who accepts
your quirky little habits
and understands you
in a way few others can.


She's the one
you can call at any hour-
to laugh or cry or complain...
The one whose voice has been there all along,
sharing secrets and dreams
and singing your song when
you needed to hear it most.


She's the one
who can read your mind,
hear your heart,
and love you just the way you are.
She's your lifelong friend...
but so much more.

She's your sister.
