February 10...It's her birthday today...the 12th one since she exchanged the hardships of this world for the joys of heaven...she'd have been 39 today...impossible to imagine my baby sister as a 39 year old...almost impossible as believing she has been gone for almost 11 & 1/2 years...What would those intervening years have been like...I don't know, I can't say...all I can say for certain is that she would have lived them to the fullest...pouring every ounce of her love into her family, especially her sons...crying over their failures, rejoicing in their triumphs...she would have shined her radiance into the darkest hours and brought joy to all of us...her unselfish, unconditional love would have been the wind beneath the wings of those she loved, helping each of us to soar to far greater heights than we have managed to achieve without her presence among us... I loved her then, I love her still; I always have, I always will.......
