I just wanted to make this post out to my little sister. in accordance with my family’s wishes i will use a nickname.
I dub her :
Tickety Boo
for me there are many good memories of my sister. She was always the best at getting me going which i can look back at now with humor but it wasn’t funny when i punch an extremely solid wall because she was chirping at me. Despite this out of all the sisters i have dubbed Tickety Boo she is my favorite. All my sisters have gifts and as i recall, hers was the gift of friendship even as a 6 year old we would go camping and she’d run off and a couple minutes later she would come back with a new friend with whom she would spend the rest of the camping trip. She is also the most traveled my siblings and I.
I love the way she smiles, when it’s full of laughter and fun; it fills her eyes with a glow i have rarely seen in anyone else.
My first memory and probably the one i will remember til i die is of myself and her and she is 1 or so. She’s in a jolly jumper and I am hugging her. It’s the picture i remember, because she has one of the biggest smiles in the world. She looks so happy it makes me smile every time i think of it.
Remember the call of the wild my dear,
remember my poem
know that in my heart i have love
I think of you every day
As the years passed and the autumn passed
we may have grown apart
but we are close in heart and in love
you taught me to smile
you taught me some dutch
which made mom blush
you are the best sister named tickety boo
i have ever known
and the only one i will love with all my heart
keep smiling my dear
and you are far away
say good night to the moon
and i will too then we can at least have done one thing together
Happy Birthday (belated)
With TLC
Yours Forever
