My special friend and Aunt has been missed for more than 10 years. She had a green thumb, growing just about anything. Many flowers and plants around my farm were transplanted with a little start from her yard.
Several words of her advice have stayed with me over the years:
"You can do anything if you know there is an end to it."
"What doesn't kill you, just makes you stronger."
"There's nothing better than a little drive in the country to refresh your soul."
"Nothing wrong with a bowl of cereal for supper."
"Appreciate your husband, they could be gone in an instant."
"Faith is a personal relationship with God."
I miss those drives in the country, hunting elderberries or choke cherries for jam, gossiping on the telephone, quick lunches shared, and reminiscing over old stories and photos. Your strength and wisdom have sustained me through many a dark hour. Thank you dear friend.
