To my baby sister in Heaven:
I struggled for weeks trying to figure out what I should write that celebrates your short, yet sweet, life, Tammy. All I could come up with is quite simple & brief…I miss you. We all miss you. There are days I spend wishing I could turn back time & make things a lot different than they were. There are days that I can see all the blessings God gave us through your death. And, still, there are days that I question God, in all His Grace and Holiness, why He had to take you from us. I have yet to hear the answer, and I somehow doubt I will ever receive one. But, one thing I do know for sure more than anything else-and that is the truth that God has put into my heart. The truth that I will someday see you again. This truth has indeed "set me free", just like the Bible promises. I am free to love the time we did have together; I am free to get through each day no matter how much it hurts or how much I find myself crying for you; I am free to know that although you have been taken from me twice in one short lifetime, where you are now is where you'll stay. And once I get there, we will be together for eternity where NO ONE or NOTHING can ever separate us again. These truths, Tammy, are what gives me the hope & comfort I need to face what life throws at me. If I could see you just once more here on earth, I would simply say this – I love you.
Enjoy Jesus & the splendors Heaven has had in store for you since the day you were but yet a thought in God's mind. Know that there is not one day that I do not think of you and long to be there with you and our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.
I miss you, Tammy – always my baby sister.
