I'll always love you Missy Marie

I know this is off topic, but it is important, and really the reason I started knitting in the first place. My little sister Missy was diagnosed with an inoperable cancerous brain tumor the fall of her 11th year. She was told she would not live to see her 12th birthday. In march she turned 14, in June she was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and this evening the cancer finally claimed her.

Missy, I will always love you, and no one will be angry for letting go. Rest now, be a normal child wherever it is you have gone. Be at peace. And guide us through this troubled time from your place of joy now. You have fought this for so long, you have shown everyone you are strong, and you proved us all wrong, but we are happy that you don't have to fight anymore. Just be happy and enjoy the bliss that comes from looking back on this life experience. It is just the start of another adventure.
