Twarm, he day is sun

reflects off the rolling waves.

People are enjoying another gorgeous day at Barrie’s Centennial beach, one of Canada’s gems.

Sitting here like I do everyday waiting for something to happen.

There are thousand people, the odds of something happening are pretty good.

Looking at my phone it is 2pm.

If something doesn’t happen soon I will pack it in for the day.

Aby swithif ona sense cue she walks of

purpose that is almost visible. She has my attention, I am drawn to her elegant dress.

Why is she dressed that way at the beach?

My intuitive sense is telling me this is the story I have been waiting for.

Fbuteeling over dressed I am comfortable.

Why should I not be comfortable, why do I have to fit in?

She has to be around here somewhere.

I have been looking for over 30 minutes, next time she changes her cell phone number she better tell me before our day.

Sfirstitting and observing the over dressed woman locate another over dressed woman.

They embrace but in a formal, practised way.

It is impossible to hear the conversation over the din of the water but I can imagine.

Why are they here?

What is their story?

Sevenisterly love binds us together, though we are not related we can talk about anything.

We haven’t see each other since last years "day" so we talk about life, love and everything in between. We are a kindred spirit cut from the same cloth.

There is someone staring at us, I have seen that look before.

They are judging us because we are over dressed at the beach.

They think we are spoiled rich kids but nothing could be further from the truth.

Aplanned. ll my sisters are here, we are dress alike as We look forward to our yearly

memorial beach day all year.

No matter where the day leads our lost sister will be on our mind.

She is the reason we are here, I don’t just mean physically here but here as alive. She is the reason we survived, we the sisterhood of the system girls survived by sticking together.

Our older and smart sister taught us the value of self respect and self love.

She taught us to stand tall and show the world how we felt on the inside.

She our lost sister was right of course for we have all bloomed into self confident successful women, no trace left of the scared lost system girls.

Our yearly memorial is a reminder that we are not defined by material accents such as clothes. We are defined by the content of our character. We honour a sister who was taken from us but not before she change the course of history.
