Samantha and Aziza - February 2012
After Aziza died our family stopped smiling. It actually pained me to even see anyone else smiling. I could not imagine ever smiling again. There was only one person about whom I felt differently. Samantha ... Aziza's older sister. It pained me to see her hurting so much. She was the only person that I actually hoped to be able to see a smile on. I worried that she may never smile again. It really felt that way. So much hurt for a teenager who had loved her little sister with every corner of her being. Six weeks have passed without our Aziza.
Thank you, my Lovely Samantha for finding your smile again. I know that the pain is still there. I still see your tears and hear your muffled sobs. I still hear your voice catch when you have an unexpected memory. I still feel your crushed heart in your hugs. But ... I do need to see that smile sometimes.
**The last three photos in this post were taken by a very gifted 15 year old photographer.**

These three pictures are beautiful. I have met Samantha 2 times and both times she has struck me as a smart and wonderful young lady! The first time I got to witness her in action with Aziza and this was truly beautiful! So much love. The second time was sadly shortly after Aziza joined the Angels and Samantha remembered me and came and hugged me and thanked me for coming! That was maturity and inner beauty that is not often seen in teenagers today! You have raised a true beauty and I feel your pride for all that she is in every post!! I hope that someday I get to know you both a whole lot better!!
She's a beautiful young lady. Keep smiling : )
So much hurt for someone so young. Sam really does love with every ounce of her being, but to see that gorgeous smile of hers . . . {{{{HUGS}}}}
