This is what I say to Sara when I think of her, which is often. In another week it will have been 52 weeks since she passed.
I'm afraid I don't have much to say still. I'm still not ready for anything approaching communal grieving, but at least I can talk to her friends and family on rare occasion without a total collapse. There are still things I must do for her. More donations, more jewelry to post for sale, her cookbook to preserve, her mother's pastel to hang, and making sure her sister has copies of all her digital works.
It's coming, it's coming.

Keep saying your truth and living the way it feels right to you. I'm sending a hug.

HAIKU IN VERSES - FOR SARA
TO BELOVED YOU ON YOUR BIRTHDAY
dear little sister
you left much love behind you
you would be surprised
just a year ago
tears, sadness all day and night
now i look for you
finding you in surprising
moments, thoughts, places
you would be amused
you would blog and laugh out loud
but you would care and
want to know good came out of
your short, well lived life
i cannot stop the
looking feeling and wanting
you to be here now
but i can love you
and live on for you in small
ways making you proud
big sisters cannot
save their little sisters - sigh -
you are missed always
love, lynn
