Memories

As I walked up the steps towards my home church, I was filled with happiness. I walk in and see a few familiar faces. Then I saw a man who looked like Reggie, my friend who died.

Then my heart said, Reggie is still alive, he is here. My mind fought it off, the closer I got to this man, the less it looked like Reggie. My heart was saddened. This place reminded so much of him. It was hard to be there. My eyes were filled with tears…

Towards the end of service, this man approaches me and introduces himself. It was so awkward, his smile so familiar. His look so soft. His handshake so firm. All reminders of Reggie.

In guess things will always be this way.

To my Princess Sinai

My Princess Sinai,

Last time I saw you I made sure I hugged and kissed you to the max. I knew that it would be a long time from then that I would see you again. You didn’t. My little sister, you mean everything to me. Your only four years old. So beautiful, smart, and bright. My little baby you are. A blessing to my life. I see children your age and am continuously reminded by you. Your smile, your cute little voice, and the way you clinged on to me is what I miss the most. Now I hear you on the phone and hear from my mother that your growing taller and even more beautiful, makes me miss you more. I remember the days when all that would make you quiet was me playing a song for you on the guitar. I would make up princess songs and you would jump, dance, and be my ballerina. There would be the days when you would sneak into my room and play with all my make-up in the corner, you looked so silly. You little puny voice calling me your “silly little princess”. I miss you so much! I hope to see you soon. Till then all I can do is talk to you on the phone and mail you! I know that God has great plans for you my little sister. You are called to stand out. You are called to be more than just a daughter of God, but you are His princess.

 Love,

Your Silly Little Princess
