This week marks two years since my older sister, Megan passed away. It has been a hard week for my family and I. I have been doing a lot of thinking, and remembering. I was looking through some old stuff, and I found a poem that Megan had written to me when I was about 9. Here's what she wrote:
As I read that, it brought tears to my eyes, as I can echo, to her, the very words that she wrote to me, years ago.
So, I will do just that:
Megan, Megan
I am your best and biggest fan!
The word is dull and mad without you.
You are great and have a heart that is true.
You are an example of the Lord.
You wear the shield, armor and sword.
Now, I bid you goodnight, and have a good rest.
I love you, my sister, you are the best!
I love you, my sister. You are the best.
A fun Halloween memory. Picking pumpkins at the Vanlentine's house in Colorado.
Looking forward to the upcoming holiday season, and remembering ones in past.

That made me cry... There is not a lot I can say that will ever make the pain go away but you are doing a great thing by remembering the fun times.... I'm sure she is watching over your cute family.
It's hard to believe it's been two years already. I've never lost a family member and hope I don't have to for a long while. As mentioned above, I'm sure she is watching over your family from the heavens!

sorry, I'm a little late reading this post, but I just wanted to write that I have been thinking about how close you are as sisters, and hope that you are doing alright. I know that you both still love each other a ton. She loves you too.
