MEMORY -
For as long as I can remember, Uncle Pete referred to me as "his little Audrey Hepburn" When I wore my hair in a bun, he would comment that I had a long beautiful neck like Audrey. As a kid, I never knew who he was referring too, but as I grew older Miss Hepburn became one of my favorite actresses. Her feminine sense of style was stunningly timeless and her movies .....classic.
APPLICATION -
Last year for Christmas, one of my students gave me an Audrey Hepburn calendar. Today, the month of October caught my eye. A picture of Audrey peering out of car window flashing the camera a look of pure innocence. She really was beautiful. I took a moment and thought about Pete's appreciation for her acting and natural beauty. She was definitely the Diva of her time!
REFLECTION -
Certain people come into our lives who remind us of others. A friend could remind you of a family member, or a family member could remind you of an actor. They might not always agree, but that doesn't matter. No matter how many times I would disagreed with Pete , he saw me as his "Little Audrey Hepburn". I was honored to resemble such beauty in my Uncle's mind, whether I believed it or not.
I invite you to follow my day to day discoveries as I begin Living Like a Loved One, I lost my Uncle to cancer a year ago in late September. It's been a challenging healing process for the entire family, and I've decided that it doesn't have to be that difficult. During the next year, I will take the most special memories of my Uncle and bring them back to a reality in my day to day life. I hope this brings comfort and enlightenment to all who subscribe.
