It's very hard to say this, but she is all I have left. Life changes so quickly. I woke up on April 7th of 2008 having a family of 5. A mother and father, A brother and sister. I went to bed that night, with only a Sister. During this tragedy, I essentially, lost my brother too. It is his birthday today, Mom and Dad. Many people are thinking of him and all we can do is send our hope and prayers.
Christina Marie, born on August 10th of 1984. She was your baby. Always the last to get up at Christmas, her squeaky voice would scream as she tore threw all of her presents(woweeewowwoweee, she would say...). She was a ballerina and an animal lover with a huge heart.
You would be so proud of her right now. Mom, she held your hand after you passed. She went through both of your clothes, and did your last load of laundry. She cleaned out your cupboards and went through you drawers. She is doing so much more emotionally, then I could ever imagine. She got your wedding ring sized to fit her right hand and we have plans to get Dad's ring melted into two, for us both to wear.
She may be all I have left, but we still have the memories of our family of 5 and the love, laughter and bond that we once shared. And Christina and I are so blessed, to have other wonderful family and friends surrounding us with their love, everyday.
Please keep giving us the strength to live our lives the way you would have wanted. Full lives, like you lived...
Thank you for raising such a caring, heartwarming, loving, beatiful, daugher. My Sister, Christina.

Hi Mel, I think of you every day :) One of the reasons is because I am moving to Boston in 2 weeks for a new job and think the reason I fell in love with the city was because of you and the fun we had there. I'll never forget it. I have the pic of us girls on my fridge and will take it with me on my "dash" in Boston. I would LOVE to do a girls weekend between Nicky and my place someday after I get settled.
The main reason for my post today is to tell you how wonderful it is that you have your sis. I don't have a sister and always wish I did. The bond between you two is so amazing and I am so glad you have her and she has you. You both will always keep your parents spirit alive and make each other smile and that is the most amazing gift ever. Between you looking out for each other on earth and your parents looking out for you from above you girls are in such good hands I know it. Love from Chicago and soon Boston, Ki
I still have that school pic of Christina!
