As many of you know I was without a computer on February 24, 2010. On that day my dear cousin Chris lost her battle with cancer. I could not post as I had no computer. I just got my computer back yesterday and after getting caught on Facebook I went and got caught up with my emails. And there in the mass of emails was the email from Chris' sister Robbie to the family telling of us of Chris' death and attached a copy of her obituary! Now I have known since February 24th Chris passed but it did not hit me until I went in and deleted her from my email contacts! I just hit the delete button!
Isn't it amazing how fast someone disappears from our lives? We just hit the delete button and it is final. She is gone. I will have no more contact with her. I can't email her, I can't pick up the phone and call her. I can't tell her how much she meant to me. I can't tell her how proud I was of her for all that she conquered on her short time on this planet. Or tell her thank you for always being there for me when she was 20 years old and I was 10 and she helped me make a doll. Or thank her for always spending time with me when I was such a pain in the ass child!
Yes, it finally hit me today she is gone. But I will never forget her. I have my memories, my pictures and the love I carry in my heart for her. She will always be a part of my life and always in my heart.
She was truely an amzaing person who will never be forgotten. To her daughters Tracy and BJ you were so blessed to have this woman as your mother and through the two of you her legacy will live on as her love does for the two of you even in death.
I love you Chris and my heart goes out to Tracy and BJ and her two grandsons. You were my hero.
