The Ending
I miss Ann so much. I hurt for her. I am so happy for her. I am so thankful I had a little sister, Ann Marie. We had a wonderful time together and many memories that I will cherish.
People say it gets easier after the first year. The first year came. I’m still devastated missing her so much, crying a lot. I have accepted she is gone. I have forgiven myself for not doing more. I try not to dwell on the negative things but the positive we had and shared. I will always have a whole in my life without her. The second year was harder.
Her life and her death have changed me forever. There are no mountains without valleys; there can be no love without loss, and no joy without sorrow.
I choose Mountain Peaks –even though I will face valleys.
I choose Love –even though I will face loss.
I choose Joy –even though I will face sorrow.
I choose Life –even though I will face death.
I want to embrace each moment of life. Put my fingerprints on hearts, be an inspiration to my children, be a help to my husband, encourage the discouraged, and strengthen the grieving.
