Today is the 26th anniversary of one of my youngest sister's birth. She only lived about 8 days, October 21 to 26, 1979. 26 years have passed, and I still think of her sometimes, and sometimes I wonder where she would be today, what she would be doing. I have another sister, two brothers, and two parents. I wonder if they ever think about her, or what her life might have been - I've never discussed it with them. 26 years. So many possibilities, so many potentialities. I like to think that she's in Heaven, that all babies go to Heaven, but that's not really in the Bible. It's a nice thought, but there's not really any Scriptural support for it. I know that God is sovereign, and His will is perfect. I trust in Him.
I'm reading a biography of Crazy Horse. It's a fascinating story. In fact, the book is so interesting I'm reading it for the second time. It's different to see things from the perspective of the Sioux/Lakota. I never really saw the conflict from their side before. From what I've read, it seems that things would have turned out a lot differently if the Sioux had been able to remain united against the U.S. government. They might not have prevailed in the end, but the outcome would have been more favorable to them, I think. It would be interesting to write a story about what might have been.
Tomorrow is another day.
