Missing you
Dear Patti,
It’s been almost 7 months since you passed and I still cannot believe you’re gone. The pain of missing you seems just about unbearable at times. Sometimes I’ll think of something and want to pick up the phone to call you or plan to visit you and then remember you’re not here and it makes me so upset. I’m trying to remain upbeat, which you always did so well. I’ve found that telling people about you really helps. You were such an inspiration for me and had such a big impact on my life that I want to share my experiences with others. The other day I was telling a few people at work some of my stories of you and they said “Wow, she was amazing” and I said I would definitely agree with that. You were truly amazing, Patti.
I know in the last few weeks of your life we talked about your experiences and I told you I’d like to write a book about you someday. I still plan on doing that, just not yet. My heart needs time to heal some. I do want to share your story though, even if it’s one ear at a time.
“Living life to the fullest” you always taught, and that’s what I’m trying to do.
Oh, Patti, you would be so proud of Isabella. She’s amazing. Truly amazing. And she has so much of your spirit.. she gives me this look sometimes and I can just see your face reflected in her. She does her “na-uh’s” almost as good as you did.
Miss you and love you lots, Patti.
Love, your little sister
