I Have Missed Them 2
When Jack, my best friend was killed, I was eleven. My heart was broken; I have not loved another dog since.
I was thirteen when my father passed away. I miss not only my father, but what could have been.
When I was twenty four, grandma died, leaving me crying. I longed for her to meet my first child; but it was not to be.
Twenty five years later, my mother departed this world The things she said to me; the inspiration given; I miss her so.
Less than a year later, my oldest sister was killed in an accident. When I received the news, I thought my heart would explode
Four years passed, and I lost an older brother to cancer. Growing up, I thought he was mean; as an adult, he was pure gold.
Less than a year later, a younger sister left us way too soon There was something special in the way she called my name
Nine years later, death again descended on another younger sister. Such a sweet and lovely soul went away to grace the streets of gold.
A year later, my oldest brother breathed his last and said goodbye. A giant slayer and leader, who blazed the trail for his younger siblings.
