It is always hard to say goodbye. It's harder when it is your sibling, and in my case my only sister. Many times during the past year I would rush to the hospital and she'd be heavily medicated. She seemed to be shrinking and I started to ask myself, who is that stranger? Am I hallucinating? Is this really happening? November 27th I walked into her room and she was awake; but did not know who I was. I leaned over to kiss her cheek and like a child she began to play with my hair and my jewelry. She kept caressing my face and telling me I was a real pretty lady. The nurses comforted me when I broke down outside her door.
After that every time I went to her room I was reminded of the song that says "…give me my flowers while I yet live; so that I may see the beauty that they give…". You see, my brother-in-law had created a shrine of sorts. He always put fresh flowers in the window. And he was adamant that he did not want any dead flowers in that room. To me that was a tribute in itself. I brought flowers also, but gave them to my niece, Itai, instead. I cannot say anything that will express my feelings more than the following:
"Hush and slumber deeply my baby sister;
There is no need to say anything more;
For we know whenever life shuts a window;
God always opens a door."
Girl, go on and get some rest now.
Love always; Pat, Keana, Joe, John, Pat, Ernest, Francis and the rest of the family.
