A Sister's Life Changing Experience Of Faith And Hope Part Twenty Three

Shortly after everything had happened, we all decided to go to bed. The next morning, I got up as I normally did and got myself ready for school. Today was the last day of practice right before I would be preforming with my sister's teammates and knowing that, well maybe this was the life changing experience that was going to test how much hope I had in myself, and how much I had trusted God to help me with my faith. I saw that Blake was up, and he told me that he would take me to school. I didn't argue with him, because I wanted him to be there for me. Blake dropped me off at school and he said that he was going to go to the store a minute and he'll be back to watch the practice. I go into school and I go to all my classes. I go to lunch and then school has already let out. I head to practice and I see Blake who has bought flowers for each of us, including the coach. I see all of my sister's teammates have thanked Blake, and even the coach has too. I thank him and hand him my flowers as I go to practice the routine. Blake sees how important this was to our sister and no matter how much she did, she was always determined to never give up without a fight. I can see it for myself now. It's scary to think how much has changed in the last hour, because even though I know she's not here anymore, she's always going to be with me, and that kind of love for your sister is a bond that can't be broken. I finish the practice and the coach tells us to be here early tomorrow morning, so we can leave to go preform. We tell her okay, as we leave the gym. Blake told me that he couldn't have been more proud of me, carrying on a legacy that our sister would have known to be proud of you for doing. He tells me that the light of hope that I once saw is coming back because I am doing something that will honor our sister, but I'm also honoring God because God's plan for our sister was different, but the plans He has for me, are be presented right now. I know that my sister was my best friend, but why did she have to leave the earth so soon? Why did she have to leave our family behind? Why did she have to go to Heaven and leave us? My brother hears me speaking and asking these questions out loud and his answer to me, is that the reason she left this earth is because she left it peacefully and it was her time to go, she had fought as much as she could and God called her home. She left us behind, because she needed to be in peace and be in Heaven where she is healed. He tells me that even though it feels like she left us, she is still with us by watching over us like God does for us and she is always going to be there in our hearts, just like God is in our hearts. He tells me it's okay to feel sad, and it's okay to feel upset, but remember the happy times, instead of the bad times. I start to smile because I know he's right, and as much as I dislike that, I know that what I'm going to be doing tomorrow is going to be in honor of my sister, and it will be dedicated to her and everyone else who is still going through the same things she had to go through, even if the cases are less severe or mild. I know that doing this tomorrow is going to make a difference for everybody, including myself.
