Dear Ones,
I thought it might be a good idea to offer an explanation for my recent post “The Joy With Which We Live,” as I seldom mention the topic of passing on. Here is the explanation, which I have also added to the post in question …
This video is in memory of my sister Peggy, whose birthday was October 14th, and who has since passed on. My sister Peggy was a computer programmer whiz, a prize-winning horsewoman, and quite a good artist and horticulturist. I miss our life-long camaraderie.
For a little while after I was born, I was gifted with the name Margaret Alice Clagett. Then my folks thought better of it and named me Alice Berry Clagett.
So for a little while, my sister Margaret Bowie Clagett (Peggy) and I shared the same first name. All blessings to her on her birth date and forever!
Then when I think of my sister and I once having had the same first name, I remember someone else very dear to me, my aunt Margaret Somervell Berry Thomas, who passed on about a year ago at the age of 103. I remember how I loved her voice, and her laugh, and her wise advice.
I credit this other beloved Margaret for giving me a hope to hang on to through infant colic (inconsolable crying, the cause of which is elusive). I thank her for it. May angels bring her to her place of love and Light and peace and joy in the heavenworlds!
And then there was my maternal grandmother Marguerite M. Bowie Berry (Mrs. James Belt Berry, Sr.), who lived just down the road from me when I was a child. She was a schoolteacher. She played piano and sang and wrote poems that rhymed much better than do mine.
I am sad to say she passed on in 1978, a year before the passing of my father Hugh Caldwell Clagett, Sr. I thought she was wonderful, and I hope she is having a wonderfully good time in her heavenly abode!
God bless us all … whether Margaret or Marguerite or maybe some other name … and keep us safe, and be with us through all our days … and thereafter!
In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!
