If you are reading this in the United States of America…..HAPPY
INDENPDENCE DAY! CELEBRATE BIG THIS YEAR….MAKE IT A JUBILANT FOURTH OF JULY. If
you are in another country….come visit us this summer….We are BIG fun!
For me, this Fourth of July is not quite the same. This will
be the first time ever, since I have been old enough to watch fireworks that I won’t
be watching with Aunty by my side. It’s a tough one. She LOVED celebrations and
every day with her was a holiday. But, since Aunty inspired this blog, I will
be true to her effervescent spirit and carry on. Yes, I will cry; I already have twice today.
But, tomorrow I am going to see James Taylor perform at Tanglewood. This is
quite a treat. There will be a lavish lawn party where almost everyone will be
setting up picnics. Many toast champagne (I know we will), while leaning back
and inhaling the fresh air of the Berkshires (in Western Massachusetts). I am
quite excited. And when James sings You’ve
Got a Friend, I will be sitting between two of mine. I know I will undoubtedly hear Aunty (MY BEST FRIEND EVER)
whispering the words all around me, inside and out. YOU JUST CALL OUT MY NAME AND YOU KNOW WHERE EVER I AM, I’LL COME
RUNNING TO SEE YOU AGAIN….WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, OR FALL…. and, I won’t
even have to call, because the truth of the matter is: she’s always been right by my side, and she always will. LOVE IS
ETERNAL.
Everything was larger than life with Aunty!
God Bless~
