Ok ok, I know Im like a day late and a dollar short writing on this blog. I spent the morning of your birthday sending messages to people on facebook so that they could write on here if that counts for anything : ) So anyway, happy belated birthday. It seems like a lot of people did special things in your memory and that's cool. It really shows what an impact you had on the lives of others. I guess one of the reasons it took me so long to write is because I always have so much I want to say. On the other hand it seems like I have said so much already. You keep coming to me in my dreams and these dreams always seem so real, like your really here. We laugh, talk,act silly just like old times and we always know that you have limited time to hang out. The funny thing about these weekly dreams is that we always try to work the system and find ways to have extra time to visit with one another. Sometimes these dreams are too real and at first I didnt like them because I woke up sad but then you started visiting ever week and Im cool with that. Yep see, now Im getting all long winded again when I was just suppose to be saying Happy Birthday! I was thinking about your past birthdays and how much fun you use to have. Remember your 16th birthday party at the Bar? LOL, that officially qualified as having the coolest parents in the world. Of course there was no liqour served but the environment was so awesome.Remember where your mom took you for your 18th birthday, LOL. Another cool parent moment in your life.Heck your parents even made sure I had cool birthdays and so did you. So of course you know I miss you but Im proud to be your friend and be able to help your memory live on. Im also glad I have so many cool pictures of all our good times. Im so happy that I have all the letters you wrote me in college and all the crazy post cards you sent. I laugh and cry a little every time I sit down and read them. With these items I feel like we have a special bond. One day on facebook you told me that if you died that day you would take alot of special memories of me with you. I did not value that comment at that time but today it brings me comfort.Im glad you told me that because I know we argued and fought like sisters on occasions but when I think back on you telling me that, I know that everything is ok with us. Just like sisters we fought and eventually got over it but I know that we have no unfinished business. You are ok, I am ok, we are ok. As always, I will continue to make you proud, help your memory live on, look after the family, eat muffins, and chicken sandwiches in your honor and take occasional strolls through Greek Town like we use to do. Love you,
Happy Birthday. ...its been a few years since I have posted, and right before your birthday you've been on my mind a lot. Justin is twelve now, and growing more by the minute. It's always bittersweet every year, because I remember how you predicted he would be here on March 15th...your day...I wish you could meet him. He's full of life and energy...always smiling and laughing. Love and miss you always. Xoxo
MeloniJoi O'Brein-Smith, I haven't posted here in years. It's funny how it's been almost 14 years since you've been gone but it still hurts and feels like it was only yesterday that you were taken away from us. Today is NOT your birthday but it is January 15th, the date of your baby-shower in 1984. As usual, I find myself missing you dearly. I guess the tears will NEVER Stop! Any way, we feel your presence often (THANK YOU and GOD for that). Keep a close watch over your sisters, you'd be proud of them but they often could use you around, you could teach them a lot. Sydni WAS the one to give us grandkids (I thought you were being selfish when you said that but I guess you knew)and we see similarities of you in Randi everyday (sometimes it's scary). You have some great friends, they step in from time to time, which has been a blessing to us all. I'm sure I don't have to tell you (your spirit is with me everyday) I LOVE YOU and I MISS YOU! Your Mommy ~ Kandi Smith
