Goodmorning my beautiful cousin. I finally moved to the sunshine state and I wish more than anything you were here. I wish I had more time/memories with you. I started a new job yesterday and as much as I’m grateful I wish I had a different start date of that job. That date represents the worst day of our families lives but I would like to think that just maybe that was your way of saying you are watching over me. I love and miss you.

I hope you are showing Grammy Linda the ropes in heaven. Thought of you a little more than usual today. When that happens I know it's because you are with me at that exact moment... well that's what I would like to believe anyways. I was thinking of the last time I got to see you. I remember you being pregnant and we were coming back from mems house and we were dropping you off. I got out of the car and gave you a hug. I remember telling you I loved you and that I was proud of you. I wish I could re-live that time at mems with you. I would have made more memories to hold a little tighter. Missing you!

Wow..10 years...never imagined the hurt would still be this fresh after all this time. I think of you ALL THE TIME. I picture what it would be like for us to go to lunch or just hang out and talk. My life, and our family, has changed so much since you left and I wish you were a part of it. Can't wait to see you again lil' mama. Miss your face so much.

Dara,
  Today is not just another day to me. It marks 10 years that's you been taken from us. I miss you more than words could describe. Some days seem easier than others and some days not so much. I visit you very often and spill my heart to your grave and flowers. Wishing it was really you face to face. I look at the sky every night looking for your star and talk to you. I look at the moon and wonder, do you see the same thing I see? I remember every second and every detail of the last conversation we had, and I don't know if your advise or if I kept my promise to you or not. But I'd make you proud, by the great mother I've become. I still remember our last movie trip like it was yesterday to go see "without a paddle" we broke down before we got there lol and we laughed and reminisced about good old times after the movie we just got done laughing our butts off at. I've still got the letter you wrote me saying how much you loved me and how you want me to do good in life. Unfortunately, it was like you knew
something was going to happen and it was like a goodbye letter. I drive past your moms house often and want to stop and say hello and let her meet the kids, even though its been 10 years I don't think I'm ready. You look just like her and I don't know if I could handle it. I'd probably break down. I miss you so much and is give anything for one more memory with you. My kids will know who your are as they grow older (your memory you left behind) so they will know how close I kept you to my heart. Well, for now I'm gonna put my kids to sleep and get some rest but this will not be for long. Until my next message or prayer I'll speak with you again. I love you girl, rest easy love

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This year me, Auntie Donna, and Uncle Roger surprised the family for the holidays! It was so heart warming to be with them. The only thing missing was you! You not being here has left holes in everyone's heart but I know you were celebrating with us in your own way! I wish we could have surprised you just like everyone else but someday you will surprise us and meet us in heaven... I love and miss you!

always in my heart

October 9, 2015

I am fortunate to have had so many year's with this amazing chic! She was more than just my best friend, she was my sister, someone I could always count on, and that was a mutual ever lasting bond we shared! Even after all these years she still remains my best friend, there isn't anyone on earth that could replace her. She truly was one of a kind. Dara, you are always with me, I can feel your presence everyday! You left foot prints on my heart that will never fade. You have impacted my life more then anyone could ever imagine! (ILYAASEB)! you made this up and I will never forget the meaning of it!

School

October 23, 2012

I remember going to Pace Center for Girls and we was sitting in class learning about our bodies. Dara was pregnant with her 1st child and she made a comment about birth control and we all laughed. She could make anyone smile weather they was having a bad day or not. I have known her berfore this time as well. We went to another school together as well I jst cant remember the school we went to. I think it was either DMS or DHS. She was a very bright and beautiful person to know. I am just sad that I just found out about this last night. My prayers are to the family and her boys. Miss ya Dara  <3

Beautiful
