Did you ever know you were my hero?
Everywhere you went; I wanted to go.
But, our lives took different paths,
We got separated for a while but you rejoined me at last.
You came back and that was one of the happiest days of my life;
Little did I know of the demons you were fighting inside.
You came to talk to me today;
You sat beside me as if not sure what to say.
You talked about Gods promise and the Promised Land,
But, the way you said it I just didn't understand.
You said you wouldn't leave again without saying goodbye,
But, I went to church and you took your life.
I don't know if I didn't,
I don't know or even understand your reason!
My sorrow is like a slumbering volcano,
My heart builds up pressure until it erupts and overflows.
As I lay here all I can do is cry,
My heart hurts so bad I wish I could die.
I loved you more than life itself,
It breaks my heart to think of the pain you must have felt.
But you wouldn't tell me what was causing you hurt.
All you would say is that you couldn't remember---
This day I will never forget!
I have to let you go now for there are no answers;
I have my life to live and so much more to give,
I will get on with my life though there is no peace.
I love you sis
May you REST IN PEACE!

My aunt wrote this about my mom, shortly after my mother took her life.
I miss her so much.
