A friend told me that itll hit you all at once.. its not going to be the right place or the right time but all of a sudden youre going to realize that theyre gone. She was right. It took me one year to realize Steph passed away. 1 year. Im sitting in the same place, doing the exact same thing Im doing now when I got the call that something was wrong. I had never had someone close to me pass away, and I wouldve never thought my sister, whom was my best friend since we were born, would be the one Id have to experience that with. Steph, whose been cast as a wild child, wasnt that way to me... I remember Steph in a very different way. She was the other half of me. I never called her my younger sister because I dont remember a time when I was the only child. To me, she was like a twin. As we got older, we were complete opposites.. I would like to think if you put us both together we would be a whole person. The whole ship ran better when Steph was here. I live my life completely different now that she is gone. I incorporate a lot of aspects of her into what I do. A big one is Easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission haha.... probably the new side of me my parents can not stand. I also try to say yes to whatever I can, even if that means I say no then say yes immediately after.... The biggest thing though, which has made a HUGE difference in my life - something I never take for granted - is saying I love you, all the time to anyone I want to say it to no matter what has happened. You never know if thats the last time youre going to see someone. I dont care if you got in the biggest fight of your life - tell them you love them because thats really all that matters and if anything was to happen to them after they walked out that door youd want them to know that you loved them and YOUD want to know they loved you too. I loved my sister dearly, and it makes me sad that the people that Ive met now and in the future will never get a chance to meet her and be around her. So...say sorry, forgive easily, do small acts of kindness for others, little tokens of appreciation when you can - anything, even if you just tell someone you love them.... because youre going to wish you had. I love you Pookie, Im not the same without you!! Steph Baron Forever in our hearts :(
