"Things" That Remind Me of Di

There are so many things and places that remind me of Di.  She had so many things that she loved and she passed so many of those things on to those that she loved.  I remember so many times talking to her and wishing that I could get all those things for her that she dreamed of but really now, those "things" pale in comparision to the only thing that we have left; memories.

Altoids and the smell of them and the clank of the rectangular container opening and closing... Biolage leave-in-treatment... Crane Coffee alas no longer around... Delice Bakery alas no longer around either... Sunflowers... Hair Cuts and Colors... John Denver... NPR... Loving Those You Love With Vigor... Laughing... Printmaking... Papermaking... The Last Cigarette... Trips with the kids... Pork Roast with Rosemary... Smiles... Hugs that wrap around you like a blanket... Knuckle cracking... Fighting for parking at UNO... Death & Dying Course... Rearranging my apartment furniture... Washing Machines... Tacos & Tostadas... Coffee & mug warmer... Natalie Merchant... Storytelling... Hair Art Project...


The people we meet form the foundation of our lives that when built upon allow us to bloom and blossom in ways that we never would have anticipated.
