It has been almost 3 months since you went to be with Jesus and your mom, but we all still miss you. Some miss you more than others. I have been able to pick up and go on, but sometimes when I slow down and remember things we did together you seem so close I can almost hear you talking, almost reach out and give you a hug.
Remember when you took me out for lunch near my birthday? I desperately wished we had kept up over the years so we would have more to talk about.
Remember when you dropped by during my graduation party? We scraped the leftover cheese sauce from supper out of the pan with extra tortillas. Mom thought we were a little strange. :)
Remember when you used to visit Grandma and Granddad and come to church with them? Keith Wilkins (our 6th grade Sunday school teacher) told me once, "Man that girl can TALK!" Everyone loved you and you loved everyone right back!
Remember when we went to visit Sheila at work? We stopped at each floor of the building before finding her and you taught me how to jump at just the right time in the elevator!
Remember when you dropped by that last time with your new puppy in your car, begging Mom to keep her for you 'til you got out of school.
Someday we'll meet in heaven and we'll get to reminisce for real. I wonder if we'll even care?
I love you, Ginny. My cousin. My friend. Have a great birthday!
