It was a toughie. Having not seen her sister for 12 years and then being far away from all of her relatives and friends who knew Alicia added an extra layer to Aida's loss.The lily does not take away from the grief , but for Aida it has been a tangible way to express it and honor her sister too.<br />GillyxGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-34171275345576906842013-05-08T11:42:24.062-04:002013-05-08T11:42:24.062-04:00It is hard not to want to provide solutions and th...It is hard not to want to provide solutions and that might be the outcome of the listening but often people don't need their problems solved immediately.
