Remembering Life on Mississippi River Wabasha, Minnesota

I need flashback memories during these times of sheltering-at-home-no-end-in-sight moments. Today I feel sad, tired. It’s difficult to focus. I feel silent tears watering my eyes. My friend, Sister Carlan, OSF told me tears wash the windows of our souls.

Following another Zombie Walk in the mall, I found this picture of Melissa, aged three and Kristen at twenty months, picking dandelions on our Mississippi River shore. It was an early Minnesota morning when Urb snapped this pic. Wonderful how a photo can transport my mind and senses back to that moment. I smell the fresh grass, feel the light morning breeze, and cherish that precious moment when these two little sisters shared God’s grace of being . . . .
