Gratitude to G-d

My parents keep telling me that we have to say Thank you for the gift of my sister. That we must be thankful to Hashem for giving us the gift that was Adina. I want to say sorry, and forgive me, and I miss you. I want to say remember when, and remember always, and remind me if I ever forget. But, tonight I want to just say thank you.
Thank you Hashem for giving me and Liora the greatest older sister. Thank you for making her kind, and warm, and nurturing. Thank you for the bedtime stories she used to tell my younger brothers and I got to listen to. Thank you for our singing contests, that she always won.

Thank you Hashem for making us be able to remember and smile.

Adina had the most original sense of humor. She kept us gals on our toes. She loved her family so very much. I look at my niece, her husband, her in laws. My brothers, My sister, My parents, My children, and feel that they have been loved by Adina. We all were. We are all stamped with her love.Thank you Hashem for blessing us with Adina in our family. Thank you for leaving us with the warm imprint in our hearts.

Thank you Hashem for the gift of my sister.
Thank you for the tremendous light she was in this world.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of spending her last days together with her.
Thank you for entrusting us with such a special Neshama.
Thank you Hashem.
