The moment I realized,
you my sister had died.
My hands cradled my face,
and I frantically cried.
Why did this happen,
and how could this be.
You had so much to live for,
we could all clearly see.
My heart simply dropped,
and I felt a sharp pain.
My tears fell instantly,
Just like Autumn rain.
I was truly lucky,
to have a sister like her.
Countless others,
nod and concur.
I will miss our talks,
and your comforting voice.
And those random moments,
where we’d mutually rejoice.
Rest in peace,
Sister and best friend,
My deepest love,
to the sky I shall send.
You were taken far to soon without any warning. You have now joined mum and all the others and have so much to catch up on.
I didn't tell you enough how much I love you and how much inspiration you gave me over the years. There is now a huge void in my life that will never be filled. It's now time for you to rest and begin a brand new adventure.
I'm not going to say goodbye just see you soon. I love you Jantwit, my dear sister.
You have now joined the butterflies with mum. Fly high Big and Little Janet 💕🦋

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
