You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
-David Harkins
Rest in peace, baby sister. As Forrest Gump would say, “That’s all I have to say about that”.

Very well said. It’s hard to remember the good when you are suffering so but hopefully over time you will heal. I think when we lose someone we cherish we are forever changed. Over time we just learn to live with our new reality.

Oh Lisa, how sad you must be to know that your precious baby sister had to suffer in her short life. Cherish her memory, even the Goth period. She is dancing with the Angels.
