May 14th, 2006: Bittersweet Holiday.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommies! My mom’s already gotten a ton of mother’s day wishes, and a beautiful bouquet from my grandpa:
I haven’t let my mom lift a finger all day, because all she really wants is a day of complete leisure, and I’m trying to give it to her 
I’m feeling a deep sadness though, and I can’t shake it. Today is my sister’s birthday; she would have been 20. As a matter of fact we both would have been 20 at the same time until I turned 21 on June 18th. It’s hard, and every year I thank God when I make it though this month in one piece. But I’m never really whole, anyway. I can’t visit her today, but I will. I’m determined. I don’t expect for anyone to know what to say, because who does when it comes to things like this. So don’t be afraid to just comment on the entry before this one, if it’s easier. It’s been 4 years (already) and it seems like yesterday. To those who have lost someone close to them: how do you get by? what helps you deal with the sadness?

You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart. . *.
You called out to our (souls), and you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name.

i am close to you. as much as i can from here. all my love to you.
beautifu flowers. love xxx
Happy Mother’s Day to your mother. Go you for giving her a nice relaxing day!
One day at a time, one month at a time, one year at a time. They say that things happen for a reason, and even though that may sound cruel, I know that God has you in mind in every decision he makes. Your sister is not far, remember that always. You two will see each other again soon
awww, i’m so sorry to hear about your sister. i haven’t experienced such a tragic loss, but i can only send you love. i hope you find the comfort and peace you are looking for.
beautiful flower boquet. it looks so big!
wow, those flowers are beautiful! that’s so nice of you, what you’re doing for your mom. I couldn’t do that, because both of us worked that day.
if you ever need a shoulder, you know where to find me
stay strong.
I know its hard
and I wish there was an answer to that question. I was never able to deal with the sadness. Sometimes I’d think he’d really want me to be happy, and then it takes just one small moment for me to be enjoying something and close my eyes and see his face and get sad all over again. It’s just so hard. I dont know what to do either. I think there’s a whole lot of us out there that dont know what to do, how to cope. It’s never going to be easy and the pain is never going to go away. I cant lie to myself and say it will, also because i never want to forget. I hope though, that we all get through it 
one day at a time right? take care girl 
Hi.
Really nice website. Like the design =)
Im sorry about youre sister. Its really hard to loose someone that close..
I love love love your new layout. I didn’t even know you were back sweetie.
I know, I miss her too. She was more like my sister than anything during those years in school. i wouldnt have gotten by without her. But thats just how you have to get by, by knowing that she is in a much better place, that she is happy, and that like an angel as always, she is watching over us.
