If I Had Only Known
![]() |
| Erica & Andrea, 1981 |
Each day I think about my sister. The passing of time has not taken that away. It has been a year and a half since Erica passed away. My heart still drops and tears well up in my eyes when I think back to the day she died. The thought comes to my mind....."if I had only known," there would be many things I would have done differently, if I had only known. I would have called, sent a text or an email, a little more often, if I had only known. I would have made sure I said what needed to be said, if I had only known. In my mind we were going to grow old and get gray hair and have plenty of time to do sisterly things together but, I was wrong. Now, each day I live with that regret and the thoughts of what should have been.

The Flower Lesson
One of my friends on facebook posted something similar to the below words for Father's Day in remembrance of her Dad. I revised it to read for my sister.
If roses grow in heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me. Place them in my sister's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile....
During Erica's memorial service it dawned on me that I never sent her flowers. I sent her cards on occasions but never flowers. I know they can be expensive but sometimes when people are going through a hardship receiving flowers can be a great way to cheer them up. This was another lesson I learned, don't wait to make others happy when you were blessed with today.
