I love you, Melinda with all my heart. Life is hard at times and the unexpected always pops up every now and then, but its God's way of shaking us up and making sure we are focusing on Him. He is the center of our lives and everything we do, we do for Him. If we aren't in line, He will put us in our place. Melinda, I have always loved you far more than I showed you. I know that our relationship was rocky and we had our differences, but I was just trying to be that big sister. I never meant to say awful words to you and I never meant to be so cruel. I take them back, I take every harsh word, or thought, or hitting you or all the things older sisters do. You are my little sister and my job is to protect you. I love you so much. I can't even say it enough. When I type this, it is the words I wish I could tell you right now. I want this to be something that bonds us closer together. I miss you, Sissy Melinda.

Sisters Forever!

Me and My Sister

Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks ; ) -expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs- that can undermine any tale you're telling.
