The Rest Is Earned

In the last few day two people who played a role in our lives, even though on the edge, have passed away. 

First was a step nephew in Florida.  I have not seen Danny since right after my brother, his step-father, was killed in an accident in 1978.  My nephew Robert was a half brother to Danny, but after Robert’s mother died we lost track of Danny. 

Yesterday my sister-in-law from my first marriage passed away.  I have known her for at least 41 years.  A woman who never said a mean thing about anyone in all those years.  She was always a little scattered, but you couldn’t help but love her.  These last few years, as her health started to fail, we didn’t see much of her.  A thing I’m going to regret for a very long time. 

Sometimes we lose track of people who have come into our lives and spent time with us when a death or a marriage turns our path in a different direction.  Tonight there is an empty spot in my heart, but there is also guilt. Guilt because I got too busy living to remember family from the early years. 

Rest easy you two—the struggles are over and you both have earned it.
