That Was All She Wrote

My last fortune



This was the last thing my sister posted on Facebook before she had her stroke. It turned out to be very prophetic. She never had another fortune cookie.

Sheila was an amazing person.
Her religious belief was paganism.

It is a religion very much based in nature.

She had a lot of stress in her life, but would set it aside and help out if she could.

She also never thought she would live past the age of 36.
But, she did.
So, she quit counting after she hit 36.
She also became grateful for every year she got past that.

She stood up for herself and the people she cared about.
Some people took it wrong and thought she was hard or being a bitch.

She was never malicious, but would tell people the truth and some people didn't like hearing the truth.

She loved puns and the color purple and making jewelry and writing stories.

Every year on Facebook she would share this photo:
The Ides of March. This is also the day she fell.
 
When we got to the Surgical Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit, the drain lines were already in and they were trying to get her to respond.
I mentioned it being the Ides of March and she actually rolled her shoulders. 
 
Initially the drain lines were only supposed to be in for five to seven days. 
That didn't happen.

  1. Some people sure don't like to hear the truth indeed. Why past 36? Just pull it from a hat? Sounds like she was a great person indeed.

    1. From readings she did. Tarot, runes, that kind of thing. No matter what, she kept coming up with the number 36. But, my husband thinks 52 and he doesn't even know why. We had major differences of opinion on some things, but we agreed to disagree. Thank you, Pat.

  7. Do not allow yourself to get upset with someone publicly has a problem with you. The best way to handle this is by offering them some type of solution. This will show anyone who is looking that you are willing to go the extra mile to make your customers happy.
