My beloved sister, I wonder if you knew that in my heart you always were. I wonder if you knew I never forgot that summer at my grandmothers house when we spent the better part of the day laughing, talking and listening to music. I wonder if you knew that I was trying so hard to find you because for some reason you stayed on my mind. I wondered how life was treating you and how the kids were. I can't think of Baltimore without thinking about you. I cant listen to certain songs and not think of you and the time I wish we had with you that I missed. It was not by choice that you didn't hear from me life just had us in two different places but I tried dear sister. You may have been out of sight but you were never out of mind. Time kept passing and little did I know you had already moved to the home that Jesus prepared for you, not in this world but in a better place so far beyond our comprehension. I wish I could still hear your laugh and your Baltimore accent that made your voice stand out from the rest. Sometimes I just close my eyes and listen in my mind to you talking. The last time I talked to you was when the twins were coming or when they were newborn because I will never forget you telling me their names. I remember other things we talked about too but I will keep that to myself. I loved those summers in Baltimore. I only wish I had lived there so I could have been closer to you. Although our friendship was brief it was memorable and will always hold a special place inside of me. People might not understand because people measure love by time. To me it does not matter that it was short, we bonded and some people never connect and have known each other for years. I don't believe in chance of happenstance. We met for a reason. We had time together for a reason. I held you in my heart and mind for a reason. I often wondered about you for a reason and dear sister I tried to find you and never gave up til I did only to find out that I would not be able to hear your voice and laugh and catch up but we will in Heaven. Don't ask me how I figure this. I just believe that someway, somehow we will reconnect with out loved ones so I hold on to that thought. Mother's Day is tomorrow and you are a mom of three beautiful daughters. I know they miss you and so does your mom and sister. I stay close by mom and it helps me keep you close, even when I look of Angie I think of you. I remember her being the younger sister with her accent just like yours. One day I am going to visit Baltimore and visit your resting place and we are going to have a talk and I will get to see an hug your beautiful girls and your mom. I pray it will be sometime soon, maybe this summer who knows. It is however God leads. Happy Mother's Day beloved sister and friend. You will be with me forever.
