Tradition with family is best

Better than the rest

We plant seeds

Because she was in our lives we were blessed

They will grow guaranteed

 

Left us too soon

One February afternoon

Emma, forever our angel

On your birthday we send a balloon

Loosing you was painful

 

When the seeds we plant every New Year’s Eve grow

It is like you saying hello

Forever our flower

We still miss you dearly you know

You give us our superpower

 

We will never miss a year

As long as we are all still here

Your laugh we miss

Watching you cheer

We send you a big kiss

My best friend passed away from brain cancer at age 13. She fought a brave battle. She inspires me everyday. My family and I have a part of our garden dedicated to her and we plant sunflower seeds (her favorite flower) every year to honor and remember her.
