30 Days of Inspiration
————————–
Day 05- A 
.
Dear Beth,
Thank you, Beth,
short in stature,
tall in courage.
A dwarf,
a few days younger than me,
now gone,
but not forgotten.
.
You taught me about loyalty
and letting people know
who you are and what you
stand for.
Your bust of JFK was
a clue the moment
I entered your home ☺.
.
Your sense of humor about life
and having fun and acceptance
of circumstances of your birth…
I remember you telling me,
“I taught kindergarten,
we were the same size…”
and laughed !
.
I cannot imagine still having humor
after an accident left you without
your legs and wheelchair bound,
but you continued your selfless
cheerleading those around you
to persevere by example.
Your faith in Jesus,
the Holy Spirit,
God,
and your fellow man
never seemed to waiver.
.
You loved your family
more than words could say.
So proud you were of their
accomplishments,
large and small.
.
Fighting for what was right when
circumstances turned against
you and someone you trusted
tried controlling your fate,
was awe inspiring.
Short in stature,
tall in inner strength.
.
Beth you are.
now an angel, I’m sure.
you taught me to do what it takes,
to live life to the fullest,
no matter what it takes,
no matter what anyone else
thinks.
.
You taught me
by example,
what a woman of
courage and faith
looks like.
.
I miss you.
Think of you often,
Quote you endlessly.
.
Peace and love,
Siggi
