Just August

In August, all four were born; and for me, August symbolizes preparation for finality as well as new beginnings, portraying both pain and pause. In August, my family comes to mind, because there's a great friend and younger brother in Missouri. There's my youngest brother in Indiana, who grew up without a father. I'm blessed with a younger sister in Minnesota, who's strong like an oak and most precious. And lastly, one tested and tried in California, our only daughter and first born. 080722PSCtest, Just August Poetry, Andrea Dietrich
