This small mini-tribute to my only sister (whom we lost to pancreatic cancer in 2008) sits on my bedroom dresser where I see it first thing every morning and last thing every night. Four and a half years younger than I, she was only 56 when she left us for Heaven. She gave me the small book that can be seen and may have given me the Willow Tree figurine of the two girls sitting side by side (sad that I can't remember if she did). I love that figurine and the Willow Tree angel who is always watching over us.
I am sorry for your loss. I can imagine that it is still very difficult for you even all these years later. What a lovely, meaningful display you have created to honor your sister; and to have it in a place where you can see it so frequently makes it all the more special.
@janetb Thank you, Janet, for your thoughtful words. Yes, I miss her but am so, so thankful for the confident expectation I have in Jesus that I will one day see her and a any other loved ones again.
