Welcome to My Journey

This is the story of a single stitch from the universal blanket as I try to get out of a snag. Instead, I get myself in a bunch of knots, but you'll see that things always work out the way they are suppose to in the end. Welcome to the journey, feel free to pipe in. This is subject to copyright, and must have my consent for partial or whole copies. Feel free to email me, or message. Would be happy to meet fellow stitches out there ;) I'm interested in hearing your stories as well. ~Biddy

Lessons on Flying

I am starting this new blog to share a gift I have been given...an angel that came to earth a little over a decade ago in the form of a tragedy... the new Robin.
Robin was my big sister a long time ago.  This specific role was lost after a head injury in 99 which left her in a coma for some time.  When she awoke, she had to relearn everything from swallowing, to sitting up, to talking... you name it.
And she had no memory of her previous life's experiences.
She knew she had a sister.
But no clue it was me.
Or anything we ever did together.
Just that I existed.
And that's pretty much how her memory has worked.  She remembers facts.  She remembers that she was married, that she was divorced, where she worked... but has no recollection of the events.  It is as if she has read a fact sheet on my sister and committed it to memory.
And everything that she once was, no longer is. However, the woman here is beyond amazing and inspirational... as long as I stop clinging to a ghost, I can see this clearly.
It has taken me a long time to accept this, and even as I write this today, part of it wrestles within me. A loss that is difficult, since this angel came wearing her same body.
To help myself see this angel more clearly for who she is, and to share the lessons she has brought for us, I bring you all Lessons on Flying :)
I hope you are able to learn from her, as she is constantly teaching me, just by being her; coming into the world with eyes and heart of a child :)
