dear sister...

...happy birthday

on a day which would’ve - marked your 67th year - i am again reminded of how - swiftly time passes yet - with that passing little has been done - to ease the ache of my grief - in losing you - oh i know how they say - time will heal the heart - and i have no doubt - it eventually will in due course - but these past 4 years - are still too soon - for me to experience full healing - because of the relationship we had - as sisters, we were simply - too close and it will take longer

do you remember this photo - getting ready to have - it snapped at school - of course it would be - the last in your school series of photos - being your graduation picture - remember finding out after daddy passed - how he only had 3 photos - in his wallet - i was surprised - he always called us ‘his girls’ - but knowing he kept us - only us, always with him - in his wallet - and that this photo of - you was one of them - truly touched my heart

i hope you’re dancing with - abba’s angels around his - throne and celebrating big time - i still don’t understand the why - of your being taken so unexpectedly - but i look forward to being - reunited with you so we can - dance together in his throne room - and together again we will have...

a

happy day.....
