Shirley, I will miss you very much. Being your oldest sibling. This seems wrong, I should be the one making the trip of passing. Because we were kids from a home that could not be a home. And was destroyed, not by our doing. But our parents. We together had to learn how to survive. I am proud of you. Because, against all odds, as with your sisters. You survived, you grew to be daughter, woman, a wife, a mother, and sister, and friend. We're all hurting, but it's part of life. A sad part of life, but true. You're in God's hands now.
I hoist a Beer to, you to me. I will miss our video chats. 3 and 4 times a week. Having a beer and exchanging thoughts. Our family's. Progress on our homes, and the future. My heart has a hole in it, that leads all the way to China. You used to say give me a raspberry. (Sibling kiss) When we had to say goodbye, over the years. SHIRLEY, I love Ya. You take care.
