It has been a long nine months without my sister.  This time of year I’m usually busy packing to go off on another extraordinary adventure with her.  This summer my parents are my travel partners and we’re headed west to China.  I thought should catch up a bit before then.

This winter, I learned to play my sister’s cello, had lots of fun enjoying the excessive amounts of snow that fell on Seattle, and spent Christmas with my family on Whidbey.

In February, I spent a wonderful week soaking up the warmth and sunshine at my cousin’s house in Hawaii.

I also went to North Carolina for a quite hot and lovely week and had a chance to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousin who live there.

Spring in Seattle seemed sunnier than usual and we spent a lot of time outside and had a few chances to sail and visit my adorable nephews.

My life will never be the same without my sister, but it does go on.  I’m am looking forward to all I have planned this summer, adventures both big and small.  I just wish she could have been here to enjoy them.
