Seven Sisters


May 15th, 2010, I climbed all Seven Sisters in East Sussex, England to commemorate the ten month anniversary of my mother's death.

I remembered each of her seven sisters, three of whom are living, as I did so.

At the end point of Beachy Head, I observed a white wooden cross and bouquet of fresh flowers placed at the edge of the cliff.

May 31st, being Memorial Day, is a good day to post this event.

For you Mom . . .

Happy Mother's Day

Hey Mom, I miss you, especially today. Your voice, your laugh, your smile, you...

So many Mother's days have passed.

Even when I wasn't with you, I always called to hear the excitement in your voice as you would say my name, and to tell you, "I love you Mom".

My love for you will never die.

I won't be here to write in my blog on May 15th, the ten month anniversary of your death.

Knowing that, I viewed my itinerary to see what I will be doing that day.

Hiking in East Sussex England is planned.

I will be climbing all of the 'Seven Sisters' on that date.

Is it coincidence that you, Mom, had 'seven' sisters?

I tend to believe that coincidence is 'God's way of remaining anonymous'.

What better way to honour you and commemorate the 15th of May in 2010...
