Alee, my loving Sister, we were so close....we would speak by phone everyday and you would say Bumby (family nickname), what are you doing today? You were the rock in my life through troubled times and would never hesitate to stay overnight with my boys when I needed to travel. You would light up a room with your smile.....if I could only emulate you as a parent, friend, sibling, grandparent, teacher my life would be complete. You know how much I love you....please give me the support to get thru the next few days, weeks, months and years. Alee, I will always remember you and the time we spent together on this earth. We both looked forward to spending our vacations at the beach together so thought this poem was so appropriate for you and me sis.....your memory will live in my heart forever. The Beach in the Sky I closed my eyes. Felt the warmth of the sun on my face. All the grief and pain Was simply too hard to erase. I could smell the ocean in the air. I opened my eyes only to see you far off in the distance. I knew it was you there. I called out your name As I ran to you. My prayers had been answered. It was all too good to be true. Beautiful as always You smiled and held me so near. This moment was happening It was all perfectly clear. You laughed and said Im happy youre here. Welcome to my beach in the sky, But you cant stay forever. As a big sister always knows why. You see there is a little place at my beach in the sky. Its called Heaven and thats where I live. I am happy and content And have no one else to forgive. I dance in the sun and play in the waves. I collect seashells as I watch the sunrise and set All of my days. I know no more hate, sorrow or grief. I only know love and peace. And I stand firmly with my God on that belief. You have not yet learned what it takes. You cant be with me on my beach in the sky. Just because you think you have faith You still have not learned why. Go back to your world and do what you can. Be kind and gentle to each and every man. Have a compassionate heart. Remember my words as we now must part. Little things matter. Be the best you can be. Take great care with others As you would a seashell at sea. Be helpful, be strong And never ask why. Thats all it takes To reach my beach in the sky.
