22 years ago marks a day that will forever leave a hole in my heart. My sister, Taylor, earned her angel wings due to a heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. When I was younger it was always a day that we visited the cemetery and talked about what we thought she would look like now. She died at such a young age, that we never were able to form a strong relationship with her, maybe a good thing but certainly a sad thing.
As I get older though, the selfish part of me has a harder and harder time on this day every year.
Would we be best friends?
What would it really be like to have her here?
My brother is one of my best friends but I wish I was able to have that special sister bond with her. I wish she was here to stand beside me at my wedding and be a part of all of the planning.
:-(
She is here though, constantly by my side. This part makes me so glad to have an awesome God. I am lucky to have a guardian angel that I know is always watching over me. I know she is living happily in Heaven and is rid of her broken body which is a huge relief. I long for the day though in which we are reunited in Heaven and get to do all of those sister things.
Miss you Taylor Lynn and think of you every day baby girl!
