Love Hurts

One day I asked my sister, Freda, "aren't you glad we are sisters?" Freda replied, "Yes! How else would we have known each other?" We repeated that great nugget of wisdom many times. I'm so sad today because on Saturday, Freda died suddenly on a trip to Ireland. In times like this, hearing the simple is often so comforting, so Winnie the Pooh, the simple bear says it best for me. He said:

"If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together...there is something you must remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you." - Winnie the Pooh

And he also wisely said, "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying good-bye so hard." - Winnie the Pooh

Thanks for listening to a bit about my dear sister, Freda.
