Third Time’s The Charm

In the first post, I wrote about my little sister and the battle she had with cancer. The second post, I wrote about how I found myself. Thanks to my little sister and her encouragement, I found who I am truly supposed to be–a writer.

Think about the phrase- Lost and Found

I lost my sister but I found myself. I was going through some boxes that had been packed away. In one box, there were treasures of things Mindy had given me. There was a letter she had written to me and my son on his baptism. I found a plaster she had made during one of her many hospital stays. There was also a picture of a rainbow. She loved rainbows. In the bottom of the box, laid an envelope. It had Mindy’s name on it but it was my handwriting. I picked it up and turned it over. It was sealed. So, I slowly opened the envelope and pulled out the piece of paper inside. It was a letter to Mindy. By the time I read to the bottom of the paper, tears flowed down my cheeks. I felt better, though. I knew she was where she was supposed to be.

I have been working on Mindy’s story for many years now. It’s time to complete it. The pieces I found will be included in her story.

Love and miss you like crazy, Mindy!!

Hope your day is full of sunshine and blessings!
