Flag Day 2021

Or as I call it, my Sister Sheila’s birthday.

Today my sister has planned a day that is very her. I told her it sounded like her kind of spa day.

I am very proud that she sold a story to an anthology this year.

She works in a grocery store and has spent the last year and a half on the frontlines of COVID in many ways. Including having to politely inform people of limits for purchasing certain items. Each customer was a potential infector.

Needless I have been very worried about her. Less so now because she is vaccinated.

She is a writer. Has been probably her entire life. She started a journal when she was very young and has kept up the practice to this day. She is also a writer of fiction and non-fiction.

She has worked through a lot to get to this year. I am very proud of her for doing so.

I would tell her that she was my favorite sister and she would always point out that she was my ONLY sister. And that is why you are my favorite I would tell her.

Happy Birthday Sheila. Hope the day is lovely to you.

I am grateful for having my sister in my life.
