A friend of mine, Robin Costello, or "Delswife" in the Disney circles, tragically passed away recently. Much too young, it left all of her friends a bit shocked.
Dealing with the grief of her loss has been a challenge for me. However, what has given comfort to me, and her other friends, are her stories.
Now, to be fair, Robin is an amazing storyteller. She's an amazing person, but boy can she tell stories. You laugh, cry, and then laugh again through your tears. Her skills were powerful, and we're lucky that she wrote as much as she did.
So, why am I, an un-gifted storyteller, suddenly venturing out into the blogging world? Because of Robin's kids.
The loves of Robin's life were her four kids, Chris, Nikki, Brandy, and Emily. Our grief, as friends, is nothing compared to that of her four beautiful children.
What's giving them comfort is her stories. Not because she's gifted as a story teller, but because the stories are about them and their lives.
Memories, it's all about the memories.
So, for my three angels, Austin, Connor, and Peyton, who are the little loves of my life, this is my legacy to you. Stories about your family and your lives.
Love,
Mom
