Getting old is difficult. More and more of my friends die. My cousin Winnie Jo passed over the weekend. She was an only child and I one of eight. We had become so close in our retirement years. She’s in the heart of my cousin picture above and below is a picture of us when she came to visit. She was a Zeta and Sigrid joined too. Winn stayed connected to the group her entire life. There she had sisters. Sigrid wasn’t as enthusiastic about the organization. She has real sisters. But this connected Siggie to Winnie. I’m very sad, not for Winnie but for me. She was 83.
Astrid picked a bouquet of flowers from the Meadow. It’s wild daisies, Tick Seed and white Fox Glove. It’s truly beautiful.
Below is the iron Sig said I had to take the rest of my life. Most of my life I have been anemic. I take it as she prescribed~~one tablet on rising with orange juice or a vitamin C tab. Then wait an hour to even drink coffee. What a pain, but I’m so much better. Who knew that anemia causes sleep problems and anxiety. Well, Sig knew. I’m not getting as dizzy. That has to do with hemoglobin. I had a bad dizzy spell driving about a month ago. I became frightened to drive. I’m doing much better. My little Siggy is one of my 5 angel girls. Life is hard and then you die!

How wonderful that Sigrid know exactly what you need to feel better! So sorry about your cousin. Cousins are such an important part of our lives, I understand the sadness. Some days seem hopeless but I have to do what I can do and carry on!
I'm so sorry for your loss. 83 is sounding younger to me than it used to. I'm glad the iron pills are helping. Your family take such good care of you.
