For You, Sis

I want to start by sharing a piece of writing from Victoria and it goes like this: "if memories were like balloons destined to drift away -- Would you hold onto them tighter? because you knew they wouldn't stay?" Victoria was wise beyond her years. And I believe that she valued moments more than any of us. I want to share with you all a few quotes and sayings that Victoria loved & tried her best to live by: “A great attitude becomes a great day which becomes a great month which becomes a great year which becomes a great life, so start the day with a great attitude” “Smiles, happiness, and appreciation are all free and contagious” “People are meant to be forgiven” “Any act of kindness, no matter how small is never wasted” “When you are grateful, you will be able to do great and wondrous things, not only for yourself but for the world” “Everything you do affects someone. Your words hold weight, even when you say it with no value, the people you love are listening. And it is only their ears that matter. Give credit to the people who shaped you and don’t hold back on praise. Because when your actions and words of love never show, no one knows if the love is real or even there.” And here are some words that she took note of from mom and dad: “You cannot be afraid to fail. You try your best. If you fall, then get back up. Learn and grow, but don’t be afraid to try because you’re afraid of failing. Be brave and try and learn and grow.” -mom & Another... “Everything in life is either two things; a blessing or a lesson.” -mom There are so many quotes that she had from dad but there's one that stood out the most: “When you feel weak, find strength in those who are here for you” -dad . . . I miss you sis. I wish you were here so I could give you a great big hug and tell you how much you mean to me- to all of us. I wish I could tell you how beautiful you are, inside and out. Remind you of how smart and brilliant you are and how you have such a bright future ahead of you. I wanted to take you to travel the world. I wanted to be there for you, seeing your greatest achievements and the small ones. I wanna hear you play one more song. I wish I could have one last hug. The kind where I squeeze you so tight, I lift you off the floor and almost crack your back (which I know you hate sorry). I keep picturing you, pulling up in your black jeep, with your sunglasses on, windows down and music blasting. Or getting some shut eye somewhere on some couch. Or dancing to your vinyl records in your bedroom or cooking up something delicious in the kitchen. I miss you so much. Every single moment of each day. Your company, your laughter, the small talk, the deep talks. I want to hear more about your future plans: where you want to travel to, what you want to accomplish. You always had a plan for everything and we all knew that you would be the one do it. Victoria was born for greatness and it was greatness she sought. She aimed for perfection in anything she did. She was brilliant. And kind and sweet and considerate. Always thinking about everyone. There is so much that I'll always remember about Victoria but especially: Her great big smile, that went from ear to ear. Her laugh. Her long beautiful hair. Her witty jokes. How goofy she was. Her cooking, especially her baking. The way she played piano. She was always learning and mastering new songs. Her creative mind. Her thoughtfulness. Her patience, her love, her positivity. Victoria was such a huge part of our lives & that's why it hurts so much. I cry when I remember the good times that we had because I know that I'll never get those moments back. I'll never see her walking through the door again. I'll never see her perfect face or hear her voice again... Only in dreams or in memories. But I am so grateful that I had the chance to make so many lasting memories with my sister. And although her time on earth with us was short, she sure did more in her 18 years of life than most people do in a lifetime. She will live on... Until we meet again sis. I love you, forever.
