“If you came to me with a face I have not seen, with a name I have never heard, I would still know you.”
Lang Leav
In no particular order…
- You are my heart beating
- Our silent closeness
- Your children who will live out your legacy
- Saturday morning cartoons in beanbag chairs
- Talks about the place we shared most, the place we call home to our most memories
- Your laughs that heal all
- Fast speed rides in the street
- Kite flights at the beach
- You allowing me to torture you with little sister things
- Your eyes that always seemed to be sad
- The times you fly near by with hawk wings
- Climbing trees in the park
- Celebrating life the best way we knew how
- Your smile- that smile you rarely showed that brighten all my days
- Those chubby cheeks
- Catching sand crabs at the beach
- Morning walks to the bus stop
- The dandelions you leave for me
- Reading at the library
- The love you have for me-tatted on your chest
- Car rides blasting music
- Watching you draw cars and graffiti art
- Writing letters back and forth to keep the time going
- Bike rides in the middle of nowhere
- Dancing with you on your birthday
- Walks through the unknown desert
- Your cheesy jokes and “Wasabi” hellos
- Reading your favorite, Calvin and Hobbes
- Crazy songs on my voicemail to make me smile
- Your protective heart
- Candid photos depicting our lives
- Your pride that you revealed
- Your tight bear hugs
All these things and more help me keep you alive in memory. 33 things for 33 years. 33 years too young.
I’m still holding your hand.
Today marks four years since your soul released to the wind…until we meet again. I love you always. Your little sister.
In Memory of James “JP” Payne II (1.12.82-3.29.15)
