An intriguing path I'd like to follow.

I would love to explore this passage way.

I Missed a Prompting

I did it, again!  I missed a prompting to get in touch with someone who is very dear to me.

To start, my favorite doll as a child was the Dennis-the-Menace doll.  Here's a picture for those of you not familiar with this character: 

For some reason, I had to have this doll when I saw him in a drug store while shopping with my mom.  I ended up having 3 of them over a period of time. (As fate would have it, my husband's brother's name is Dennis.  AND, we named our son after his uncle!!)

I attended a Catholic elementary school in Indiana and was taught by nuns in full habit.  My fourth grade teacher, Sister Demetria, was my favorite.  I must have been quite obsessed with my Dennis-the-Menace doll because Sister Demetria gave me a report card for him!!  (This reminds me that I need to go through some paperwork to see if I still have the card)  I never forgot this act of kindness, creativity and generosity!

I had been in contact with Sister Demetria in the past few years and discovered her new name, Sister Marilyn Reiser.  We had some fun and engaging conversations via e-mail. I eventually lost contact yet had been thinking about her in the past few months.  My "to-do list" consisted of re-connecting with her.

Sadly, I learned that Sister Marilyn passed away on August 11, 2012.  My best friend from elementary school and I agreed that "Sister Demetria" went straight to Heaven!!

I’m not going to get too upset at myself for not contacting her before she died - I’m human.  No excuse but it’s the best one I have for now.  I would like for you to think about my story.  Hopefully, you will not let those promptings that you experience slip away.

Oh, the beauty of a winter snowfall!  So magical.
