sister, i hear you laugh my heart fills up


for the last five months i have been trying to come to terms with the sudden loss of my sister, tammy.
she’s the sweet one on the left.
47 years old.
too young.
and while i have been devastated in my grief,
what i haven’t been doing, is be thankful that i had her in my life to begin with….
this beautiful soul
whose light was so bright and so far-reaching.
this amazing person was my sister!
and i could not be more grateful.
