My sister Celina

lost life "so young"

I hope and pray that you are safe in heaven

I miss you oh so much

you will always be our angel

why did you have to go?

why weren't we allowed to keep you?

why did God allow you a sort one?

it really hurts when your Birthday rolled around

we all missed you so much

Our only wish was for you to get better

you will always be my dear sister

no one can take you out of my heart

After months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds

moment to moment

not one day goes by that I don't think of you

Through sorrow and pain not one minute goes by without missing you

When I close my eyes I see your sad eyes

I try to remember how you'd smile

Your laugh grabbed me as it resounds through my head

Although life has gone on and changes come almost regularly,

I picture you in my mind and I feel certain that this image will last forever

How sad it is that I shall no longer see your face.

Oh, so may days, hours I have cried

if only for once I could hear your voice

You are my reminder that Life should never be taken for granted

You are my reminder that above all else life should be cherished

As I pressed my lips on you forhead, I knew that it was not you,

Your Spirit was no longer in your body

Your Body was never cold to my touch

Your Love will always be eternal

I will always remember you my dear sister Celina

Thank you for being my big sister

Thank you for hugging me when all the world went wrong

Thank you for reading to me when I was small

Thank you for blowing my nose when I was small with a cold

Thank you for holding my hand when I was afraid

Thank you for taking care of me when I was small

Thank you for being the sort of sister everyone wished they had

Thank you for all the things you lent me

Thank you for all the things you gave me

Thank you for comforting me

Thank you for all of our laughs, all the shared adventures

Thank you for taking are of my children when I needed help

Thank you for being a wonderful Aunt

Thank you for always being there for me whenever I needed you 

Thank you for being you

You will always be a part of me
