My Letter to Brianna - July 31

Hello everyone, this is a Maria. I wanted to share with you a letter that I wrote to Brianna. I read it during the wake in front of just the family and some close friends but I wanted to take this opportunity to share it with everyone. Jennifer, Matt and Bob will be posting their remembrances as well.
Dear Brianna,
I made you a charm bracelet. I picked out some trinkets that remind me of you.
PRINCESS – When I met your dad he always talked about how you were his princess.
FOUR LEAF CLOVER – You and Kaitlyn were in Irish Dance. You were so proud of your Irish Heritage.
HORSE – You always talked about your love for horses. I bet you are riding a beautiful white stallion right now.
CANCER AWARENESS RIBBON – I was so proud to walk the survivor lap at The Relay for Life as a fellow survivor. That is a moment I will cherish forever.
CELL PHONE – I was so excited to see the look on your face when me and your dad bought you your first cell phone.
FLIP-FLOP – I know how much you missed wearing Flip Flops when your coordination was off. I know you’ve got some on now.
PALM TREE – You were so excited to get your room done! The theme you picked was so fun. I hope you’re relaxing under a big palm tree right now.
DOG BONE – Your biggest wish was to get a dog. Little Gizmo is going to miss you so much!
CROSS – I always admired your strong Faith in God. You were an inspiration to so many people.
ANGEL – When I knew that it was only a matter of time that you would not be with us I had to start talking to Gianna about it. This is what Gianna tells everyone about where you are going……..
“Brianna is going to get wings and fly up high in the sky. She is going to live in God’s house which is called Heaven with all the other angels. She will also be with God’s son, his name is Jesus.”
I was saddened but joyful for Gianna when I had to tell her that you got your Angel wings. I told her that she is so blessed because now she can tell everyone she has an“Angel Sister”
I love you Brianna. I am going to miss you so much.
Maria

Thank you to everyone for your love and support.
Sincerely,
Maria Sharp
Proud Stepmother of Brianna and Kaitlyn Sharp
