Another year

Today marked 11 years without you. How can it really be that long?

I still remember your big brown eyes that you used so well to always get your way. Your niece, Randi, inherited that from you. I remember how much you loved to eat and the many drives when you wanted your milkshake from Ed's & fries from Sonic. But what would that be without a drive down Beach Blvd!

I remember how you LOVED walking along the gulf. It was so peaceful & relaxing hearing the waves hitting. Our favorite house was always "Graceland".

I remember your laugh out loud laughs, your soft voice, how you always walked on your tiptoes, and that beautiful shy smile!

You achieved so much in your 20 years of life. I know that I am a better person because I had you for a sister. You touched so many people. Remember when we would go to the fair & before we could even get all the way through you were covered in stuffed animals from the workers seeing you & they just felt like they needed to do something for you.

God is an awesome God & I know that He sent you to this earth to our family with this horrible disease for a purpose. I also know that I WILL see you again & that what helps with the pain of not having you here.

So until then I will always remember!
