When the Words are Gone Let the Pictures Speak

Another August 2nd. Another birthday my sister Kylene will never celebrate. I’m feeling at a loss for words this year. Maybe because I had so many words (and even some math) on her birthday post last year. Maybe because while things change day-to-day and year-to-year in my life, nothing changes for her. What else is there left to say?

A tree was planted in Ky’s memory shortly after she died. In the spring when I was running every Saturday morning down by the harbor, I would stop and visit it. I caught it in full bloom one week and made sure to snap a few pictures. So I think I’ll let those speak for me. Happy birthday, Kylene!

    In a way she’s still here when you think of her. Forever young, and so beautiful, Katie

    The tree is beautiful all in bloom. And hugs to you. You’re keeping her memory alive. 🙂

      It took my breath away (granted I was running!) when I saw it in bloom like that. <3
