My dear sister,
Standing here today, I am reminded of the countless moments we shared—moments of laughter, moments of deep talks that stretched late into the night, moments where just your presence was enough to bring me peace. You were always more than a sister to me; you were a confidante, a guiding light, a reflection of strength in every sense. Your wisdom, the way you cared so deeply, it never wavered, even in the hardest of times.
I remember how you always knew how to find joy in the smallest of things—a cup of coffee in the early morning, a quiet walk in the park, or the comfort of a well-worn book. You taught me to cherish those small moments, to not rush through life but to savor the beauty that is often overlooked. It was in these little things that you made life so vibrant, so full.
Your strength was unparalleled, even when things got hard. You never complained, never let the weight of the world bring you down. Instead, you used those challenges as fuel, becoming stronger, kinder, more determined to make the most out of life. You were always looking out for others, often putting their needs before your own, without ever asking for recognition or thanks. But today, I want to say thank you—thank you for being the anchor in my life. Thank you for showing me what it means to love deeply, to live fully.
It’s hard to imagine this world without you, but I know your spirit is woven into every fiber of my being. I carry your laughter, your grace, your determination with me every day. You gave me so much to be grateful for, so many lessons to live by.
You were a gift to this world, and to me, and I will carry your light forward, letting it guide me through the darker moments, just as you always did for me. While your physical presence may no longer be here, you will forever be in my heart. I will live for the both of us now, with the same resilience and love you carried with you all your life.
