Today I'm celebrating my sister's life on what would have been her 52nd birthday. It's been a good day for me. I took the day off work, slept til about 10 a.m. then started my celebration. For the 10th year (starting before Robin passed) I took pizza to the dialysis unit for the crew of the shift she was on. I followed that up with visiting some of our friends and getting my dog's license. I stopped at my favorite place and had a frozen chai and I will finish the day by spending some quality time with Nigel and maybe watching one of Robin's favorite movies.
Robs, you will always be HOME IN ME. I would not be the person I am today without you as my role model. Be at peace and thanks for watching over me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

You are the best sister and you have kept Robin's spirit alive in such a beautiful way staying in touch with the dialysis folks and giving them boosts of spirit. You are so sweet and generous. Robin was so lucky to have you and your help. I am glad you are spending the day in a way that gives you comfort

I am going to join you, Wanda, for a little while, even though I never meet Robin, I feel her presence in your life. I am playing Home in Me on the computer for a few repeats, it's such a great song of hope and love and remembrance.

Thanks guys I just felt the need to post. The person you see when we go to the MiG shows is more Robin's influence than me. I say I channel her to get me through those times cos I'm really very laid back and shy. Or at least I was before, LOL. I've done so many things in the last two years that I would never have thought of doing without having been influenced by things we did when we were younger and she was well.
Sorry, MB, it was Little Ceasar's. I thought about Gino's but their special was only for Pepperoni and I also needed a cheese and a sausage pizza. I considered Gino's but then had to go with Little Ceasar's. Too bad it would be cold if I brought you one at the end of the month, LOL.

Wanda I wish I could have met Robin, although I do know so much about her because of you. You honor her and her memory so beautifully. #hugz#
Thanks for sharing your day with us. So what movie did you watch? #bearhug#

I actually didn't watch a movie after all. I couldn't decide which one to watch since I had to choose between Johnny Depp, Star Wars and Snow Dogs...I actually thought about watching QOTD too. Too many choices for my brain yesterday...Anway, I actually had a very good day and I'm so appreciative of the support I get from all my friends here. Thank you all so much.

Wanda, I think she would have liked a Johnny Depp movie, just my opinion Sorry I didn't post until now but I haven't been online. I miss Robin every day and she is always in my thoughts and prayers. I wish she would have called me that day on New Years because I would have loved to talk to her. In all the years I've known her - by email - I never got that chance. We wrote to one another every single day and she helped me through some difficult times. We talked about everything - whether it was about Duran Duran, Michael or the newest Johnny Depp release. I will miss her always. I'm glad that you had the day to do something in her memory. I'm sure that she liked that and I know for a fact that she is watching over you and sweet Nigel Laurie

Wanda, I love you!! Sorry this is a late response..I just now saw this!! I'm so glad you took time to devote a whole day to the one person who meant "The world to you" special people like that don't come very often. But I have to say I have found many special friends here that I would call my "Best friend's" & Team MiG Sista's. You being one of them. I know this is late...but my eart is with you & with Robin always. I have heard so much about her I feel as though I knew her. We shared so many of the same interest's from what you told me. She'll always be with you in your heart & soul. "Home in me " will now always make me think of you & Robin. #hugz#
