Thankful Thursday and Friendly Fill In's

 What is there to be thankful for?

 Lots of things: I need to get back to going through my day and  finding all my little thankful's.  Wednesday was a tough day for me. Thinking about my sister Pat all day and enjoying the company of my sweet little Lulu. Thankful both of them were/are in my life. My big sis was kind, she took all the lonely kids in and friended them. Thankful I had her as long as I did. She was real lifeline. We would talk and laugh and cry all together. It is sad all my phone a friend/sister/mom days are no more. They all went to heaven instead. - Sharon, Vivian, Pat, my mom. Thankful for all of them. I do have Bea. She will be 92 in May. She is so cute.  Always calls and says "I hope you and Avery aren't sick." I sure love my visits with her. She is very interesting and we always have lots in common.

I wrote this poem for my sister Pat in 2015.:

My sister, my friend

Gone from my sight.

Never from my heart.

Like a star on a cold dark night

I feel your presence there,

My heart becomes light.

Missing you with all my being

Loving you always

Until we meet again

In Heaven's home.

I am thankful I once wrote lots of poetry. 

I love quotes and these are some that remind me of my sister Pat:

I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, 

might not leave such stillness. Emily Dickinson

Sweet is the voice of a sister in the season of sorrow, 

and wise  is the counsel of those who love us. Benjamin Disraeli

A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit,

a golden thread to the meaning of life. - Isadora James Patterson 

Thankful that I like remembering my sister's life.  Please visit Thankful Thursday

Patsy Clairmont from Women of Faith posted this quote by Carol Kent. It is perfect for most people and their people who can often wear you down. 

Please pray for Mary, she is the wife of my nephew Gary and needs a kidney transplant.  She is a sweet gal and has suffered so much. I pray and just hand it allover to God.  Thank you.
