Dear Teresa: I miss you terribly. Grief is so overpowering right now and can barely stand it. I know in time it will ease up but there will be times when I laugh out loud when I think of a fun time we together as kids or cry when your not there when I want to call you to vent my frustrations. I'll do my best to take this one step and day at a time. Promise. And I will do a better job at taking care of myself. I can hear you now, "Novena, are you taking care of yourself. I worry about you and that diabetes." Don't worry Terri, I will do this for myself and you. I will do this for Obie. I will do this for Pat and Erica. This is not goodbye T-Bird. I'll see you later. I'll remember you when I pet my kitties. I'll remember you when I watch the flowers grow. I'll remember you through the eyes of your beautiful daughter. I love you more than anything in the universe. Your sister, Novena
