thoughts of the small stuff

shared by Marlo R. Beall, her sister

Sometimes April is a little more bittersweet than other months, since it's the month of Cindy's Heaven Anniversary. Time also just seems to fly by faster every year, and I'm sad to say that it's become harder to recall new memories of Cindy, that haven't already been shared.

However, I remember her and think of her everyday. It's the daily, random, sometimes so minor, reminders that keep Cindy's memory alive. The girls play a big role in providing regular reminders of Cindy.

This month, those small reminders included...

... baking blondies, for guests, for a potluck, and just for fun

... Cyn Cyn helping Ava put together an outfit, hairstyle and make-up look for a "Rock Star" birthday party she attended

... belting out Broadway songs both in the car and around the house

... watching A's baseball

... Ava holding and comforting Fiona at a recent visit to the vet

... watching the youngest family members enjoy an Easter Egg Hunt in the backyard

... shopping for spring clothes at Old Navy

... Cyn Cyn working on friendship bracelets

... Ava taking a bath, using the "bath bombs" that she and a friend had made

... watching Friends reruns

I cherish all the memories I have of Cindy, and am so grateful to have reasons and instances that remind me of her everyday.
