Stories Collected While Living in France
In my mind’s eye my cousin Julie and I are riding bicycles again on county road P we are about 13 years old.
The sky is blue,
the rice fields are waving that brilliant green,
our long brown hair wiping around our faces as the wind is at our backs …
we let go if the handle bars throwing our arms into the air,
we look at each other laughing!
Letting the wind take us home.
(My prayer for my cousin, from the above memory we shared years ago.)
How is she doing? This is a beautiful memory — it is so funny in my opinion how similar childhood was then…with mine we were not on a dirt road with waving rice we were zooming around our cul-de-sac as fast as we could sometimes needing to take our foot of the pedal and put it on the street we were leaning so close to the ground for balance and a slight slowing down and as soon as we came out of the turn someone would yell NO HANDS and sure enough everyone’s hands went up laughing and shouting and saying to any watching parent or neighbor LOOK NO HANDS-i unite my memory with yours to your prayer for Julie-this day and all the ones to follow for as long as needed–OUR LADY OF JOY PRAY FOR US!
Sending you love, care and prayers, Corey. Sweet memories tucked close to your heart.
Always praying for your loved ones as you do mine.
Prayers for your precious cousin and for you all.
Much love and many blessings
Jeanne
What a sweet memory with your cousin.
Those memories are the best and get us through the hard times.
Chère Corey,
Cousins are so special, even when we have multiple siblings. Six of my favorites moved in with the 5 children my parents already had so you can imagine the charming chaos that lasted months, many decades ago one summer in southern California.
Continue to pray and stay positive. We’re sending healing hugs from France for you, your family and of course cousin Julie.
Prenez soin de vous,
Ella et Simone (la chienne Niçoise)
Prayers for Julie 🙏❤️
I can see you both and hear the bicycle tires..what a beautiful image ❤️
