Brent, You were more than just my brother,
You were my friend and my confidant.
Sharing a secret with you was like locking it
in a vault. I depended on you and you depended on me.
You never let me down. I hope I never let you down.
I'm sure I'm going to miss you in ways
I can not yet imagine. But I know I'll miss
your sense of humor and your wit.
The wonderful shine your eyes got when you
were being ornery. I'll miss having a conversation
with you. I know I was the big sister
but I learned so much from you.
Being with you was fun. Whether we did
something like go to six flags or I
was just watching you shoot pool.
I loved being somewhere when you came in.
You'd always come over and give me a big hug
and a kiss, and never did you leave without
the same and an I love you.
When you were little I tried to protect you.
When you were big You watched out for me.
With you I knew I was safe.
I wish I could have kept you safe.
I hope you didn't fear or hurt.
When I was with you I felt like it
was an honor or a privilege. I know
that sounds extravagant but you made me feel
like you felt the same way and I thank you.
I know you know I love you.
I hope you know I respected you.
I respect your thirst for knowledge,
your kindness and your strength.
I respect your ability to love and
see the good in people. I respect your honor
and integrity. I respect the way you
always met life with a positive attitude.
Being your sister for 32 years was more
than I deserve but much less than I wanted.
I'm not sure I can like a world without you in it.
But I know God had a reason for taking you now.
So I'll just have to look forward to the day
when I see you again. When you open your arms,
and hold me tight, and tell me you missed me too.
I Love You
Jackie
-I Believe-
Diamond Rio
Every now and then soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it’s like you haven’t been
gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I’m sure
we’re closer than we ever were
I don’t have to hear or see,
I’ve got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, Oh I believe
Now when you die your life goes on
It doesn’t end here when you’re gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I’m right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, Oh I believe
Forever, you’re a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
Oh the people who don’t see the most
See that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy, then I am
‘Cause I believe
Oh I believe
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, Oh I believe
Every now and then soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And I believe
