You're Forever With Us. (R.I.P)

Today is a sad day for me and my family. It's been 2 years (to the day) since we lost a beloved member to our family (my aunty), Anne. 

Suffering from M.S (Multiple Sclerosis) made it difficult for me and my brother to see you, and now I really regret not seeing you enough. You have always been a strong person, a great believer in God and never lost faith. To live and lead the life you did, makes me happy to know that I was related to such a great person! I will always remember the good times that I spent with you when I was younger; and as much as I never really saw you when I was getting older, I'm still always going to miss you. 

I think the most painful thing for all of us was seeing you lying in that hospital bed during your last few days. Seeing you in that hospital bed hurt me so much knowing that was possibly the last time I was going to see you.

You have always been an inspiration to many and have made an impact on everyone’s lives; I know that you have definitely made an impact on mine. I just hope that I can live the way you did. A happy and selfless person. I know that wherever I go and whatever I do your always gonna be watching over me and helping me realise my potential, guiding me to doing the right things and taking me to all the right places. I have never really been a believer in God and have never really thought that I would ever believe, but you have shown me that there really is something to have faith in.

"Anne shone like a star in our universe for all too short a time, embodying all that these scriptures describe for a true child of God. Throughout more than 20 years of illness, she never complained once, but instead more and more reflected the Lord she served all her adult life. She touched the lives of everyone she met and we will never be the same. A light has gone out of the world, but is now shining even more brightly in heaven."

R.I.P Anne - May you be in pain no more and may you have eternal happiness, you were truly a star and we will miss you dearly. Sleep well and rest peacefully! 20th October 1957 - 18th April 2009
