Oh my goodness it has been a while.....lots going on.
My Mom has been in and out of the hospital a couple times but is doing as well as any 76 year old.
(our year of the heart continues)
HOLLY always loved playing dress up so she always enjoyed Halloween.....not always the scary parts but the "you can be anything you want to be under the mask". But you have to love a girl who the only time she felt free from having to please was when she pretended to be some one else.....a pleaser
We have pictures of her as a pumpkin, ghost, carebear, Ronald McDonald......as a child to name a few but she did not always get to go Trick or Treating....bad sinuses....bad ears.....etc. But you have to love a girl to sick to go out but still dressed up to give out candy to the kids that came by......a giver.
As an teenager and adult we have her dressed as a lil girl, old woman, and Clemson football player. Under these costumes you sometimes would find a very happy Holly and some times a very sad hurt Holly....but you have to love a girl who even when she felt hurt and sad could try her best to care of others..... a nurturer.
Holly wore many "costumes"...... Daughter, Student, Athlete, Dancer, Musician Cousin, Niece, Friend, Wife, Hero and lastly Angel.
All you had to do is love her and those who didn't missed out.
