Today is June 25th and Annette would have been 81 years old today. She would have hated that, I think. I just can't imagine that she would have loved being old. I love her and I miss her. I'm so thankful for memories that can keep a person alive and happy in your mind. I like to think of her when she was completely well and happy. Maren reminds me a lot of Annette. The energy level always went up when Annette walked into a room - the same as Maren. Annette loved adventure - as does Maren. Annette loved challenges - as does Maren. And Annette was not afraid of change or to sometimes fly by the seat of her pants - as does Maren. Annette's husband, Allen, called me yesterday to remind me that it was her birthday today - as if I would forget that. So, happy birthday Annette. You are remembered and loved!
I have Annette's china displayed in the cupboard along with the statue of two sisters that always reminds me of her. What a wonderful and fun sister she was and what great times we shared growing up.
