RIP!

It's only been three days since you and your great big heart left this earth Sis! hard to believe it's only been mere hours but it seems like an eternity already! I keep wanting to pick up the phone and tell you about my life, my problems, my joys. I know you could never replace mom and dad, but since mom left this earth 7 years ago, running to you in good and bad times sure eased the pain!
   I guess it's because of the many years between my age and yours, you were almost like a second mom to me. Even so I'm so glad to know that you are out of the horrible pain and suffering that you were in those last few days of your life! It was so wonderful to catch you alive and alert and so talkative the day we arrived at your hospital room! I will never forget the great sacrifice you made that day to smile. You smiled through all your pain, just to ease mine!
   Well sis, sleep well, you have certainly earned it, you have run a good race,and touched the hearts and lived of all who knew you, I think it would be safe to say that I am chief among the blessed for having known you, and doubly blessed to have the privilege of being your little sister. Sleep well sis, until we are all together again.
          Love fir ever,
                   your lil sis
