ALL I WANTED WAS BRENDA

At the young age of 11 years, I was praying with all my might that my mom would bring me a baby sister from the hospital.  I wanted a sister so dang bad.  Having five brothers  was challenging at times due to all the pranks they used on me.  I was out numbered. 

My mother sat with me on the couch one day before she went into labor and asked me to name the baby.  I had no name picked for a boy but for sure I said to my mom, "Brenda, please Brenda, o.kkkkk."  She agreed and I was happy.  I loved the name Brenda because a girl in my 5th grade class at school was named Brenda and she was very pretty. 

All these years have gone by.  We are both grandmothers now.  Time caught up to us.  One thing for sure we both do not look our age.  Look at this pic of her.  Absolutely beautiful. 

Brenda has and will continue to be a very important member of our family.  She is funny and can make you laugh in just  a few minutes of meeting her.  Her personality is like no other.  At times she had made me cry laughing.  

This life we hold on earth can be taken away in a split second.  If and when I join my Jeannette and mommy in Heaven, I will be content to know I had my wish come true.  My baby sis.  I love her so much and pray she is happy and if she isn't then may God guide her to true happiness. 

Brenda , my amazing and loving sister will always have a special place in my heart.  After all, she made my day when she arrived wrapped in a pink baby blanket and was handed over to me to hold.
