I don´t know how I ended up here on this page on this day but, it has made me cry a river of just so much grief that it all feels so new!

The pain still festers and I don´t know when I´ll be able to say that I´m healed but, I know time will always find a way to bring me back to you. My forever sister. We´re still growing. I love you past life and reason.

Family was her center. Everyday she had a story about one of her sisters, her mom or the little love of her life, Zara. Please take comfort in the fact that you were the center of her world and she loved you very much. We were very fortunate to have her, if only for a short time, as part of our family.
