I’ll See You In the Flowers
May 5, 2021
Today, before the memorial service, I walked through a quiet arboretum full of beautiful trees and flowers. I was thinking so much about Rita, who I first met 12 years ago in Hawai’i when I worked with her sister Tasha. I felt so sad and tearful and yet I couldn’t help but admire the colorful flowers around me. It was mentioned at the service that although we’re naturally feeling the loss of Rita’s wonderful spirit, we can still feel connected to her as we go about our days in this physical world. I did feel her presence today as I walked through the garden, and I look forward to meeting her again and again when I’m surrounded by nature’s beauty.
