Subject: QOTD For Wednesday, June 22nd 2022:

The following quotation is taken from Dragonfly In Amber by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 1992 All Rights Reserved. Chapter 33, Thy Brother's Keeper:

" "He's only a year older than me. When I was growing, he was always there. Until I was fourteen, there wasna a day went by when I didna see Ian. And even later, after I'd gone to foster wi' Dougal, and to Leoch, and then later still to Paris, to university-when I'd come back, I'd walk around a corner and there he would be, and it would be like I'd never left. He just smile when he saw me, like he always did, and then we'd be walkin' away together, side by side, ower the fields and the streams, talkin' of everything." He sighed deeply, and rubbed a hand through his hair.

"Ian ... He's the part of me that belongs here, that never left," he said, struggling to explain. "I thought ... I must tell him; I didna want to feel ... apart. From Ian. From here." He gestured toward the window, then turn toward me, eyes dark in the dim light. "D'ye see why?"

"I think so," I said again, softly. "Did Ian?" "

[> It's funny, sort of, this quote following yesterday's, as I too have an Ian. My best friend Chelsea, we've been best friends since we were 4, and even when I moved with my mom to Maryland for 8 years I came back here every summer and she was always waiting to catch me up on everything from here. She was the only one I told when I was having my miscarriage, she sat with me at the hospital and then took me home. She is vital to my existence. -- Cait, Wed, June 22 2022, 5:14:10

[> [> Cait, friends like yours are a blessing. For me, it's my sister. We have very few secrets from each other, and have often told one another things that we have never shared with anyone else, even our spouses. She was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago and went thru surgery, chemo & radiation. She fought it and beat it. It reared its ugly head again last year, but all is going well. I can't imagine not having her in my life. God willing, we will be ancient before either of us has to face that. -- DianaH, Wed, June 22 2022, 9:46:05

[> [> [> Sisters are a special blessing, my sister was also my best friend, as close to me as the friend mentioned above, but she hit a rough patch in 2017 and she took her own life. I struggle very hard with it, I know I shouldn't think of it as her leaving me on purpose but that's what it feels like. Cherish your sister, and it sounds like you do, as much as you can. -- Cait, Thu, June 23 2022, 4:00:23
