Saying Goodbye

So I sit here in the light of my Christmas tree. It's freezing rain about to be snow and I start reading my sister's blog (she is so much more creative than I am). It's icy and probably will be more than a few inches of snow in the morning. I miss her. She would appreciate my slipper feet trying to get the mail this evening, almost like ice skating... or so I tried to make it look!

I'm forever grateful that she isn't leaving this weekend (though I bet the pool would be open now). However, it makes me sad she is gone. It makes me sad that she isn't here for the first "frost". Our last few nights together were amazing. She is amazing. I'm so proud of her.

As kids we didn't get along at all. It wasn't until she went to college (and I didn't have to see her everyday) that we started to connect. The little smiles we give each othe when family members say things, our blogs, our love for the "finer" things in life, our jokes about working out, our surprisingly love for the Cardinals, and the way we may each other laugh (or roll our eyes) are all things I'm going to miss for at least the next year.

It's kinda like finding a new best friend and that friend moving away. I loved the time I had while she was here and I will pray for her every night. I can't wait to have her back. There are so many shows I need to inform her of!
