My sister...


Today, I'm very emotional. I have a lot on my mind. The strongest emotion I have on my mind though, is my sister. I don't know what it's like to lose a child and hope I never do.

My sister is an amazing woman. She is so strong and can overcome anything. She's great at putting a smile on her face everyday even when she wants to cry. She's there for her family and puts them first. I know she's hurting on the inside and hope those around her are comforting her and doing anything they can to help her through this hard time.

Evan was such an amazing little boy and he has great parents-Angela and Jim. He lit up a room when he walked in with his big cheesy smile and bubbly personality. He always wanted to make people laugh.

I wish I could live closer to my sister so I could hug her everyday and do anything she needed me to, to make it easier for her. My sister is the best one in the whole world. I am so glad that we're not only family, but best friends. I love her so much and am so sorry for her loss. It hurts me to know that my sister is hurting and I can't take the pain away.

Thank you Angela for being such a great example for me. I love you!

With all you and Justin are going through today, it is so sweet of you to think of your sister. I read it to Angela while talking to her on the phone and she said you were making her cry, you made dad & I cry too. We love you so much and are here for you and Justin.
