My Sweet Sister

Your sweet smile and the beauty inside and out of you will always remain in my thoughts.

If only I could have told you more often that I love you, but I know you know how much I do.

I sit here with tears and trying to believe that this is not real. My heart is aching, and I know it will never heal. It is hard to let you go my sweet sister, but I know another angel has been called. Your spirit will always remain here with me, every morning and each night before I sleep, while I listen to every beat of my heart.

I will miss you my sweet sister and I love you…. Until we meet again.
