I cherish the visit that my father and I had with Eskie four years ago. She wanted so much to be for us to enjoy the evening. She was a gracious attentive hostess with drinks and goodies. I feel certain "her boys" had something to do with the set-up.
Eskie always seemed quieter than her siblings, but she was interesting and she had a cute sense of humor. I took an orchid for her with me that day and started to put it down when I realized that I had left the price sticker on. I said, "Oh no, let me get the price thingy off!" She said, "No need to do that! I know how much they cost. I have one in the kitchen!" It seems that we both loved orchids.
I hope that fond memories flood your mind and heart and ease the pain. We were blessed with her presence for so long and now she is pain free and she and Roy are together singing "Happy Trails to You!" ~Until we meet again~
