9. Thank you, Sisters
I found the graves today. After class,
I drove to the opening in the wall, and I parked my car and got out.
I walked into the garden and I saw one brand new, soft place. One
freshly laid little spread of flowers. Calla lilies. When did they
begin to bury sisters here, I wondered? 1908 – or thereabouts. I
cannot now remember because I was too busy saying thank you. Because
of their lives, I can have this life. Thank you for loving this
place. For loving your students. For loving each other. Faithful
sisters, I thank you.
