The significance of today is important because this is a moment of recognition as my sister celebrates the blessing of 57 years.
It has been a difficult transition since we put to rest our Mom December 25th 2016. This along with the adjustment of life after our Dad October 17th 2007. We know that parents are the jewels, most precious jewels, of life. Still the unexplainable hurts and the transition of life (when they are taken from you so early) one can never be prepared. But I thought today would be a-day to remember what they’ve imparted during the time that they were with us. To try and put into words what I believe they would say to their eldest daughter to celebrate her 57 years. So to my sister, this entry today is about you and the heart that our parents would have shared, if we could still hear their voices.
To our oldest who has always been the big sister were proud of you. We’re sorry that we could not there to celebrate; but we are there in spirit. We seen the accomplishments that you were embarking upon during the time that God allowed us to be physically present in your life. To be a part of the life that you began raising your 2 children, completing beauty school and then going on and getting your associate and bachelor’s degree we could not be more proud.
When others may have accepted defeat, because it wasn’t always easy (remember the struggles) and we always told you that it’ll be OK, and guess what it’s still OK. You have been resilient and you have been a fighter, it’s OK to put your dukes down though, you are in the place at this point in life to relax a little bit. Just continue to be the awesome mother that you are and the greatest big sister that you’ve been; we know the enemy fights you on both, but you’re doing it, you’ve done it, so continue to walk proudly, continue to do what you’re doing because your star is still shining.
We love you And we are always with you. Happy 57th birthday November 7th 2017. Stay sweet.
