Melted wax and a bowl of crushed herbs gave away the truth. Sylvester was at it, again. Always dabbling in magic, he’d make such a mess of things. Lighted candles dripped, over Isabelle’s fine linens.

The window, left open, caused the herbs to swirl, sending them into the air. But, Sylvester was nowhere to be found. His belongings, scattered, appeared as if someone had looked for something. Perhaps it was he they were looking for. Isabelle scanned the room, then closed the window.

The candle flickered and went out.

Smiling, ever slightly, Isabelle sighed. “Finally. I’ve had enough of him”

Dedicated to my beautiful Aunt Dee, whom I call my sister because she truly is.  Battling with MS, she has more courage than anyone I know.  I love her dearly.

She is my sanity, the voice of reason

When life sends me spiraling down

She is there, to catch me, to lift me up

When I can’t seem to find myself

She reminds me how far I’ve come

Never questioning who or what I am

Always by my side, always on my side

Even through her own battles

She is my rock, my soul sister, my friend

Letting me know I am stronger than ever

Yes, I am stronger, because of her
