It is Mother's day and I spent yesterday with my mom , husband and girls, and with my brother-in-law and my sister's little girl. It will be four years in October since my sister has passed and Kayli is looking more and more like her every day. We went out for lunch and to the park to fly kites and it was so nice just to see the thrre girls together playing and not having to think about anything else at this point. A couple of years ago there would have been tears and thoughts of what are we going to do without my sister and believe me we still go through that. Me especially since my oldest has been sick recently and my sister has always been my rock to get me through everything. I know it will be hard for kayli today as she will be going to the cemetery to bring her mom flowers and you have to wonder how a 6 year old handles all of this. But she just does. After all she was just 2 when her mom passed away. I remember all of times that my sister was sick and several trips to doctors and Kayli tagging along with us. And how Kayli would not go very far from her mother. I remember Chelle's last week with us. It was right before Halloween and we dresses Kayli up in her costume and took her up and down the hallways there in the hospital and how she had her picture taken with Chelle. Or how we can drive by the hospital where she passed away and Kayli can tell you all about it and what she was last wearing. It is so much for a little girl to take in. But she is so strong and doing so well now. And I thought we would have to remind her about her mom but she remembers so much. She will definitely be a reminder everyday of my sister who left this world at such an early age but accomplished so much before she did.
