Courtney's Poem

I miss Courtney so much.  I feel lost. A part of me left when she did.  I miss giving her sweet sugars and hugs.  She had a smile for everyone.  No matter what kind of day she had or what she was going through, she was so brave.    It hasn't gotten any better as time has gone on. It has been 4 months.  Change is hard. I'm not ashamed to say Courtney gave me strength. She taught me many valuable lessons that have shaped my life and her brother, Gavin.  He is 13 and misses his Sissy.  She made all of us better human beings.  I wander through the house and end up in her bed grieving for her presence.   The only thought that brings me comfort is knowing she is in Heaven whole. However, my selfish side, wishes she was still here with me.  Theresa
