I got a call this morning from Brad. He told me that his sister Shirley died. This was not the first call I received of this nature, but this was different. I just saw her on Wednesday. She was on her way home and called me because she wanted to stop by. It had been a while since we'd seen each other. She was truly like a sister to me, even though her brother was now my ex. She was an angel on earth and I was blessed to know her. We always had been close ever since day one. When I meet her she greeted me with a smile, which is an amazing feeling when you go meet the family of someone you love for the first time. You want the connection between you and his family to be as good as the one between you and him and it was. She was so full of life and brought joy to everyone around her. It is always hard when you feel as though a person was taken too early, and it's even worse when you think about all of the potential they had, all the goals they were so close to meeting. When she left my house I gave her a big hug and told her how much I loved her.
We must always remember to tell people how they have impacted our lives while they are here because you never know when the last time you see them is going to be the last time you see them...
My heart is heavy and all I can do now is pray for her family and think about all of the good times and laugh we shared. I thank God for her and was proud to be able to call her my sister.
RIP Shirley you were an amazing person and you will be missed tremendously
