My Baby Sister

Aabi,

Creating a distance between us was unfair and excruciating.

Leaving us with her memories and feelings, collecting her little things, such as nail polish, socks, and toys, brings a strong sense of what could've happened but never will.

Her gentle touch, precious eyes, and soft hands lead us to a new memory each day. The lasting bond is there physically and mentally.

Even if we're worlds apart, you're still in my heart. It will always be you and me.

Each day used to be brighter, but now I count the days from the last time I saw you. We had all of our joyous moments with you here, standing next to us, brightening up our lives.

As someone once said, "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal." No one can steal you from me.

The sheer size of the hole in our hearts will stay there in some way shape, or form. Each step we take, we tend to move one step back. The once beautiful, divine, and complete family is now broken and helpless.

Now that there's no one to try new hairstyles on, put on a fashion show with, or even sing with, it feels as if I'm left all alone. But you'll always be my little sunflower, blooming and bringing in your light in every corner, everywhere.

"Say not in grief that she is no more, but live in thankfulness that she was here once." You need to know that now the truth is out, and it's tearing me apart. But nothing has to change because you're always a part of me, and I'm always a part of you.

I know that you've left, but I'll never really leave you. Even though we're worlds apart, you're still in my heart, and that will never change. You're worth more than anything in the entire world. You've got your priceless smile, your big eyes, and your small nose so perfect. And just know that your didi is always there for you.
