Missing You

It's comin' up on Christmas....  So let's chat....

There was this beautiful young woman....  17 years old...  She would do anything for anyone.  She was just that type of person....  Went to church camp every summer and worked with the kids...  She babysat for a young doctor and his wife...  Two children I believe....  She would take them to tons of places during the summer at no charge to the parents...  She just loved kids and like to have fun with them...

She graduated high school in June of '89 at 17 set to attend Farris State in the fall and begin her journey in the medical field....  She wanted to be the first female brain surgon....  She promised to use my best friend as her first patient and GIVE him a brain tumor...

She just loved to have fun...  She was a good person...  One of the very few truely good people in the world...  She put everyone before herself and no one she ever encountered forgot her... 

She was also a very very good friend of mine....  She was my shoulder to cry on when I needed it...  My ear to whisper in when I needed to tell someone...  Although younger than myself, she was my mentor....  She was the greatest person I will ever know in this world...

She was my sister.....

This little girl was taken from our life on July 29th, 1989.....  Only 2 months after her graduation...  And to this day....  As a matter of fact, to this very moment, I still cry when I think of her....  I miss her dearly and wish I could have her back...  I would give my own life to have her back on this earth....
