My Sister--I Love You!
For all that you are--I love you.
We were close all during my life, and I love you.
We were close in my passing, and I love you.
I know that had we both lived to be 100 years old we would have been best friends still.
I also know that I would have loved you still.
I always thought I would be there to help when you passed, because I love you.
Instead you helped me when it came my time, because I went first and I love you for it.
My sister--I love you still.
I wrote this for my cousin and gave it to her after her sister died about two weeks ago from breast cancer. Cancer is often a cause of death is in our family on both sides of mine. The sister that died was a few years the younger but had the cancer for several years before she died. The ladies have several siblings but those two had always been especially close or so it seemed to me. My cousin was thankful for the poem about her sister, and agreed that she thought it was what she would say if she could send a message back to her now. We all believe in life after death but not the kind that lets a person communicate with people here on earth. It is a life in Heaven after the Judgment Day or a life of torment if a person's life hasn't been of the kind that God wants it to be.
