Dear Trishie poo,
You are my sister, my best friend, the light of my life. In this world, you give me the courage to be brave because you are my courage and strength. The amount that I can say and do to repay you for all that you have given me will never be enough. I was given the opportunity to relax, be free, and chase my dreams because of you.
Whenever you walk into a room, you light it up. Your sense of humor is contagious. When we're together, we speak our own language. There are so many sacrifices you made to get where you are, some that most people could not make if they wanted to.
The journey from UCLA undergrad, to UCLA medical school, to Harbor for residency, to finally being out in the real world doing what you truly love. I am deeply sorry you only were able to get such little time doing what you loved. You deserved so much more time. However, work isn't who you are baby girl, it's only what you did.
You are a sister, a daughter, a beautiful kind friend, a belly dancer, a piano player, a chess player, a Rubik's cube expert, a backpacker, a rock climber, a writer, and a helluva reader. I loved you for so many things. You were beautiful inside and out. I will love you for all of eternity I will never leave you, I'm here.
How can I do this without you? I don’t know this world without you in it. I don't know what to do, and I can't act or be myself without you. I feel both everything and nothing at the same time. Know that nothing you can do, can't do, can could change how I feel about you. I just love you. From the depths of my soul I love you. You are the most amazing person I have ever met. To be your sister has been an honor of a lifetime.
Love you to the infinity star and back,
- Auntie freckles, The Tangassss, the babyyyy
