You watched over me my entire life from the moment of thunderstorms when I was very little and that continued for our entire lives together..We traveled as a pair for so many years, Where they seen one they seen both..I don't know how the rest of this journey will end all I know is nothing will be as bright,or as interesting,or as exciting,or as welcome as they once were..I called you today but for some reason your phone is temporarily out of service Well I'll take care of that for you Sis, You have to know I will see to it that your phone is working.. I'm not sure how to proceed I have tons of questions very few Answers you was always really good at moving through the confusion and giving me a very simple way to see thing's or to fix thing's.. You know how much I love you and I'm really happy with myself for never letting you forget that even though at times you questioned it , that's okay I forgive you and God knows you've forgiven me for any number of mistakes, So many that I lost count Many year's ago, you never held it against me.. But That's just Who you are a kind, loving, and forgiving Broad,a woman with the strength of the Age's ,Tough beyond Measure , Never shying away from a hard job, embracing it as though it was your favorite puppy.. You had no use for rest !! So I'm hoping your taking it easy on God and everyone we love that greeted you at the gate..Givem a hug for me tell them I love them and tell them that I miss them so much.. Just know Sis that I will try really hard to look after the one's you love so very much ❣..
I love you Sis don't forget me..
