Trivia that matter
This weekend I got a months-long domestic mess straightened out, and my place is finally, once again, my place. I can listen to ear-melting music without headphones and watch Divergence Eve without people looking over my shoulder. It’s good to be alone.
However, today is the second anniversary of my sister’s death. I miss her.
… everyone, for your kind words and prayers.
My sister Maureen passed away this morning after a long battle with ovarian cancer.
Maureen was the owner, director and principal teacher of the Portland Studio of Ballet and Highland Dance in Portland, Tennessee. A life-long ballet dancer, she performed with ballet companies in Kansas, Virginia and Tennessee. Later in her life she became interested in highland dance, and she won a closetful of trophies competing with girls half her age at highland games. She was particularly good at the sword dance.
Prayers would be appreciated for my sister Maureen, who is in the hospice after several arduous years of chemotherapy.
Update (January 15, 2010): Maureen passed away this morning.
