My sister is about eight years younger than I am. Since I left home at 17 to attend college and then got married when I was a senior, she and my mom had a lot of two-some time as Susan entered her middle school/teen/college years. I wasn't around much…. a normal sort of situation for many older siblings I guess.
Anyway the two of them had many connections, experiences and memories that I do not share. Not saying that's a bad thing….but I am sometimes sad that I didn't pay a little more attention to some of those "mom-isms" when I was visiting.
After mom died Susan told me about "sky blue pink"….a certain kind of sky that mom always loved. It was the artist in her. I'd never really noticed. I think I remember her saying that, but again, didn't pay much attention. Now when I see a sky like this I think of her…..maybe last night would qualify.
