dear sister…

…happy birthday

on what would have been your 68th day of birth

i woke up this morning - both rejoicing and sad - does that make sense at all - grief does that to you - it’s been 5 years now - of these ups and downs - joys of remembering as well as - heartaches at the losses - with this morning - i laughed knowing you’d - be celebrating with the angels - i cried knowing i wouldn’t be - with you yet - missing out on that dancing - around abba’s throne with you

it’s the continuing story - and saga of grief - anyone who has lost - a loved one goes through - it’s not an easy path - yes it gets softer over time - but we were so close - so connected - the loss was that much greater - but on this 5 year anniversary - i can honestly say - my memories have grown more - fonder with the passing - of time now - they’re not so raw - and my tears now - are more joyous as - i reflect on the knowledge - that i will one day join - you in that throne room - and together we will have…

a

happy day.....
