Great piece! You kept me biting a nail as I read, and that suspense held all the way. Of course I'm also glad things worked out!

Linda- So poignant to read about how much you miss your sister.

And so good to read your writing again. You sure know how to keep a reader engaged! I

I've done a bit of traveling and now I get really nervous at airports

I understand a little of how you feel about your own writing. I can't even look at my memoir right now. But I am writing some new stuff to add to it, perhaps. We'll see what happens.

Thank you so much for sharing this story, Linda. Elizabeth truly is everywhere and it's wonderful knowing her earthly remains made it to Olivia for one final and loving farewell. She was a remarkably resilient woman and somehow this last reunification tale seems very fitting. She was also an ethereal woman who continues her existence in all who knew and loved her.

What a saga! I couldn't stop reading until I got to the end.

Whew! I was right there with you emotionally with your sister's presence so close. Great story.

I literally held my breath as I read. I’m so glad to have the gift of your story, and I’m so glad Elizabeth’s ashes made it to Olivia. Thank you for this.

No me dio cuenta que tu puede hablar como una verdadera espanola. Muy impresionante. I loved this story and the story-telling. It's great to have you writing again -- I want more and judging from the comments, I am not alone. Beyond the story, your sister's many gifts are so present and truly "everywhere" -- for you and now for all of us. Please know you are that for person for others, my friend and coach.
