A tribute to my Dearest Late Sister Natalia, Magdalena wrote these beautiful words below on Natalia's 6 month anniversary,
Six months ago my heart stopped, it's never been beating the same again... half of it died together with you, although time passes the pain will remain... Not a second goes by without thinking of you, the tears are running down if only I knew... even though it's hard and my heart hurts, I'll get up every day and put a smile on my face! Coz I know you're beside me and counting on me, to be happy again and not giving in. I think of the day when I'll see you again, you'll be there you'll smile and reach out your hand... it will be my last...but there'll be no more pain... 💔💔💔
