Dear Tari,

Today marks 3 years since you left us . Life is fleeting indeed, to think it was just yesterday when we argued about dishes. Most of our childhood memories are sad, you spent them in different hospitals battling sickle cell anemia. The pain you went through just to be with us is unimaginable. I remember visiting you at Baines Avenue, I watched you groan in pain but all I could do was sit by your side and cry with you. I can’t imagine how you always came back and continued with this thing called life. You are the strongest, even in the darkest days you never stopped dreaming. God eased your pain but broke my heart.

forever in my heart.

No amount of time can heal the sorrow of your passing. There isn’t a day I don’t think about you. Some days it’s an illusion,  a nightmare I want to wake up from. I remember when I bumped into an old joke on Facebook and I quickly tagged you.🥹 my heart sank upon the realization that you are no longer here.

We were just talking about you in the family group, Mama is shattered she was crying the whole day, Dad trying to hold it together for us, Nigel went to your resting place, and Kayla was just Kayla. I spent the rest of the day reflecting on our beautiful moments and went outside to get candles and flowers for you. I am most probably going to listen to your favorite songs and prepare your favorite meal. 

Tarie.

The 22 years we spent together were a constant reminder that God lives. You touched countless lives in your lifetime and even after your death, you live through your good deeds.

And wherever you are, I hope the skies are bluer, the colors are brighter, the hills are higher and there is no pain or worry. 

I will always carry your memories in my heart. I love you Ta’ and continue to sleep well.❤️

  4. for some reason.., I went to this post, what I was looking for exactly I don’t know, as I start reading and all I could do is shading tears as I read through and type this. All I could say she fought a good fight and never felt sorry for herself throughout her time on earth. Will forever miss her… love Rue❤️
