...I was in Amsterdam, drinking wine and eating tapas in an old apartment overlooking a canal, with my sister Katie and her friends. We were anticipating going to Spain in a few days, which we did. It was lovely.One year ago today I was healthy and strong and could spend an entire day walking all over the city.
One year ago today we were planning this year's trip. To Italy. Or Egypt. Or South Africa. I would have been there now, had nothing changed.
One year ago today I had no inkling of what my life would look like today. None of us do. Ever.
I miss you Sissy. Sometimes Amsterdam is just too damn far away.
Next year.

You're so right...who knows what is waiting for us around the corner. John used to always quote John Lennon: "Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans". How true.
One year ago today you didnt have the strength you have now (mentally), the spiritual confidence, the kick ass inner bitch (ok maybe you had that), or the experience and wisdom that I know you will spend the next 60 years sharing with the world. Take it from a Red Sox fan, next year indeed, you WILL prevail.
Amen Brenda
Wow, it's been a year already since you were in Amsterdam? Well said Brenda! She is right ya know LAM. I'm so proud of you! :-D
I miss you so much, but know that the trip we take NEXT year will be that much better because of THIS year.
But you are absolutely right -- sometimes Amsterdam is too far away.
