I told you a story of love and made you cry.
I cried too.
Aunt Peggy died seventy years ago and the sadness remain.
Life goes on because it must.
But it's never the same.
On one of my return visits to Scotland, I stood on the sidewalk and looked out the road towards the school. I attended and re-called the days when I walked that path.
I realized the girl I was no longer existed. She was a ghost of myself..
Life is lived in episodes.
Chapters are outlined and marked with beginnings and ends.
Some are longer and stronger and harder than others.
As each one ends, a new one begins.
As the story continues , new facets are added ..new features chiseled out.
Every chapter is a new beginning.
I have to disagree with you Evelyn. That girl is still there, always will be. Alive and well! She’s just gained (and still is) a world of experiences.
ReplyDeleteOf course that girl still exists. As do all the individuals you write about - you have made it so. And shared it with others to carry.
ReplyDeleteOk...I'm out of tissues. Can we get get back to Town Business? lol

ReplyDeleteWhy ? Everyone knows nothing is getting done. It all gets referred or deferred depending on Cllr Thompson's mood of the night.
