Clarity

My cousin Steph sent me an email regarding a communication she had with her friend. I just had to share it. It's been hard for me to find meaning in what's going on, and in a short email Sandy captured it. In spite of all she went through, she always had a reserve of smiles to share. I know I carry on about how we struggled to keep her fate from her, but in so many ways I think Paigee knew. I don't if I shared this but Paigee asked about cemeteries and head stones after seeing a movie a month or so back. After Rosie told her, she said, "when I die I want my head stone to say, She was silly and she was happy." How can I be upset when she was the one that really had the most to lose.

I woke up very early, thinking of Paigee. I had forwarded her "blog" to Michael, who also sent her an e-mail.

It is like you said, heart wrenching. I am tearful looking at the pictures of this beautiful little person, who has endured so much and still has a beautiful smile on her face.

She makes me want to be a better person. I wonder if she knows, that she gives others like me, a beautiful gift of APPRECIATION...

Love,
Sandy
