I lost my history on this date. My sister, Lillie, was my link to our family history. Since I relocated back to Jackson, TN in December 2004, she was the one I always called when I ran into someone I couldn't remember or something came up that I couldn't quite place.
Lillie was only 4 years older than me, but she lived two lives to my one. Everything she did, she did to the fullest. She took every act and every feeling to its deepest level. Lillie believed that everything that was worth doing should be done all the way. You could not be around her if you were not ready to be taken to the limit. She could be exhausting, but she was never boring.
I miss her. . . .
My Sister, Lillie
Lillie was my link
She made me know my past
And to think of things
As they really are.
Even when I wanted to believe
They were not that way,
But something else that would
Be better.
Lillie kept me here on this earth
She made me know my past
And to think of things
As they really are.
Even when I wanted to believe
They were not that way,
But something else that would
Be better.
Lillie kept me here on this earth
Where I miss her...so much.
