for Heidi.

Today’s post is a personal one…will have sneak peeks up in day or so.

 

 

This was taken yesterday, on my sister’s birthday.  She would have been 32.  I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since I hugged my best friend.  I can still remember the feel of her hair on my face and the warmth of her shoulder as i lay with her in her hospital bed.  Our last hug.  A part of me will always be missing until i see her again. 

Charlotte is wearing a jacket and hat that used to be hers.  I will never tease my mom about keeping our old baby clothes again.  I had to put this on her beore she outgrew it, and yesterday happened to be the perfect day.

Happy birthday, sweet Heidi.   Charlotte will grow up knowing you.
