This is probably going to be long and emotional and ick but this is a great thread :)
Owain
I wish I'd been able to spend more time with you. I wish you'd been able to grow like Euan and Natasha have, that I'd been able to teach you all the things I taught them - just little things, like how to play all their favourite games on the playstation. I wish I'd been able to play dress-up with you, like I did with Euan - dressing him up in dresses and high heels and make-up. I wish I'd been able to see you start primary school, and then I could be there for you and stand up for you every day. I wish you'd been here, in September 2009, when you would have started secondary school with the sisters of two of my best friends.
I wish I could have protected you from everything that tried to harm you, and I wish I'd had the chance to be the best big sister I could ever be for you. I never got to hold you, but I saw you lots, and although I don't have the memories, all I have to do is flick through the photo album or your memory box, or ask Mum and Dad, and I'm there with you, and you're here with me.
I wish I had more memories of you, so that I could look back on times we shared and realize just how good they were. I want to write and act and do everything I've ever wanted to do in the future, so that I can look back on my life and know that I did it all for you, because you are my inspiration in every way - I want to have the best life ever, so that I know that when you're watching over me, my guardian angel, you're smiling and you're seeing me enjoy myself.
I'd give anything to have you here, happy and healthy. I'd give anything to hold you, to hug you, to tease you and mess around with you, to gang up on the little ones with you, to talk about school and teachers with you. Even though I can't have you back, I hope you know that I still want to be a big sister to you. I still want to live my life for you as well as for me, and I want you to know that you keep me going on my worst days - all I have to do is think of you, and I realize that you're not ready for me yet, that I need to stay and be with our family. Above all, I hope you're proud of me, and I hope that I've done everything a good big sister should for you.
