Forgiveness comes from an open heart ... or it does not come at all.

You were six when people that should have been protecting. you took you from me. All I have had for the past forty-four years are memories of what was. Now I have a hole and yearning for what should have been. Happy birthday Sally. I miss you and I love you. ❤️

Peace, Joy, And Love To All

Three steps forward. Two steps back.

It has been forty-four years since you passed away. That’s forty-four years I have needed my little sister. Forty-four years of crying, not fully getting over how you were taken away. Forty-four years of not being able to hear your laughter or give you a hug. That’s forty-four years and counting, of me being lost in this world without you. That’s forty-four years of wishing the outcome was different. Sally, I miss and love you so much!
