I never saw your smiling face.
The doctor said it was an unusual case.
A tiny hole in an enlarged heart,
it stopped that morning and wouldn't start.

My parent's worst nightmare,
pain too great to bare.
Up to Heaven, God took your soul,
all because of that tiny hole.

I was young and I really missed her.
For many years she was my unseen sister.
Now that I see that death is near,
I have no regrets and I do not fear.

I can't wait to finally meet you,
my baby sister, Brenda Sue.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
