Today is Melissa's fourth birthday. I know Cindy is watching her from heaven and smiling upon her as always. I hope Melissa had a very happy birthday and I hope that she gets every wish she asks for.
I love you Melissa Lynn.

And another year quietly passes by...
This should have been posted on November 13, 2006 but the site was having trouble so I couldn't get it to post. But here it is.. for what its worth....
I feel like I blinked through this year. It's November 13th, 2006. Two years ago today I had my heart ripped into a thousand pieces as my sister was taken from me. I wish I had some amazing words of wisdom... but I don't. I watched "Walk the Line" yesterday. Thats the movie about Johnny Cash. I didn't know that his brother Jack died when Johnny was 12 years old. Through the entire movie its something that was emphasized that he never got over it and it was always just sitting in his mind. I wonder if any siblings out there really do get over it... or are able to not have it dance around the front of their mind as it does to mine. In the movie, Johnny Cash said that people got tired of hearing about it, so he just stopped talking about it. But it never leaves him. I guess the bond between siblings is something greater then any sibling gives it credit for.
Someone said to me once "I'd rather die on my feet then live on my knees." That statement is just so true. Cindy would have felt the same way. I know she is somewhere beautiful, where there is no rain, unless you want to hear it, there is no darkness unless you close your eyes, there is no cold unless you wish to see snow, and there is an abundance of love.
I'll see you again someday Cindy... for now know that the hurt I have... I can't help that. I know you do not wish for me to be upset, but instead to smile upon your memory and know that your always right beside me. Well know this; there are some things that get embedded into a person's emotional state. The love of a sibling is one of them. The love of a parent is another..
I guess Johnny Cash is right, you just dont get passed it. You learn your best to live with it. As I try to do every day.
