I've know you for the 8 years your were alive with me and they have been the greatest of my life. I know your role model is supposed to be someone who is always there for you until the day you die, but mine was you, even if you didn't out live me.

You had taught me so many things not only about myself but just about life. I remember how you used to paint all the time and I would watch in such amusement as you made these amazing creations.

Lilacs. Theyre my favorite flower now all because of you. I used to run around in your backyard and we'd pick huge bouquets of lilacs and you'd paint them for me. I miss those times.

Here I am, years later, still running around picking huge bouquets of lilacs and staring at your paintings. Because we never truly forget the people or the times we love. I'll never forget you.

I know that somewhere in heaven you're painting those lilacs that are sitting in my sunny window sill like a reminder that you'll always love me.

All my heart,

Elizabeth Lynn Martin
