Stories Collected While Living in France
Roses in May remind me of making rose jam with Annie.
"May is the perfect time" Annie would say, "to pick the tender grape leaves." (For dolmas.)
The last day in May is when Annie celebrates her birthday.
Today while visiting Annie she said,
"My Corey."
She hasn't been able to say that in several weeks.
Then she took my hand and held it to her cheek.
A river over took me.
May… you will remain sacred to me.
May the good Lord look mercifully upon Annie and all those who love her as He does.
Thinking of you.
tender and sweet-how wonderful for you both!
Happy Birthday Annie. So happy for you Corey, to have this time with Annie. It is a gift, tender at the heart.
With tears in my eyes, I will cherish my May birthday even more. Guilt floods over me as I actually dreaded the addition of another year to my age. Over the years, I have so enjoyed hearing your Annie stories. God bless Annie and you as our days unfold to show us God’s will. xo
Annie is approaching life’s biggest mystery, and what a sacred time this is. How fortunate you are to share it with her, how fortunate she is to be so loved at this turning point. Thank you for sharing this with us. She, and you, are in my thoughts.
Corey, my girl, we share some of the same emotions now…my 93 year old mother fell and broke her hip late in April, and she cannot go back to her apartment. We are in the process of caring for her while in rehab hospital, cleaning out her apartment, and searching for a new place for her to stay. I’ve never known anyone who was more ready for Heaven, but seems God has reservations about taking her. Using the word “mystery” as Rebecca NYC did, is indeed an accurate statement of facts.
Sending love and prayers to beautiful Annie – and peace for all
