Loved One Gone

The memory of a loved one gone stays in our mind.  Especially as birthdays or their death date passes.  Having lost my precious sister so many years ago, I am tempted, at times, to hate a world that she no longer shares with me, but I refuse.  I will not associate ill thoughts with sweet Jennifer because it disrespects her memory.

Instead, I choose to focus on her life.  I was blessed enough to share 33 years with Jennifer.  Sure, I would have liked much more, but the time we had was absolutely beautiful.  She was a wonderful sister and my life was...is better having known her.  One of the ways I honor our relationship is by remembering all the good she added to my being, as well as others.

Jennifer will never be forgotten.  I have learned, as many have, that love doesn't end with death.  I don't say I loved her...I love her still and I'm certain she loves me too.  With that being said, Happy heavenly birthday, sister...God bless.
