Just a simple note to my Sister
All my life there were three. Three strong against the odds
life hands us. You were always there for me when I was
growing up. I have loved you all my life and never thought you
would leave me.
You were always a loving wife and mother, always trying to
please us all. Even though your life was filled with the
sorrow of loosing three children you remained strong.
Your silent courage and strength is what I always admired.
My memories of our last visit are vivid and seem like
yesterday. It is unbelievable you have been gone a year.
I remember the things we did and said my last visit, how we
laughed and talked. I remember sitting on your front steps
watching the moon rise over the mountains. Reflections in the
water of the river, the ripples like memories of our time
together going on forever.
I know you are no longer here for me to tell you all the things
I would like to say. You left so suddenly I did not have time
tell you what you really mean to me. Nor can I tell you how
lonely I am without you.
I went by your house today and it is still the same, quietly
watching the river go by. I looked at the steps where we use
to sit and could almost see you waving bye to me. How I
wish we could bring back those days. We shared so many
secrets, the three of us.
I hope someday we will see each other again when it is my
time to walk through the mist. But for now I am satisfied
that you are loved and safe in God's hands.
It is always difficult to say good~bye, so I will tell you so~long
till a better life my sweet Sister.
I was blessed twice with the most wonderful Sisters God
could have given me.
Now there are two.
