It was good, sunny weather with the fluffiest clouds Sofi had ever seen. It looked too ethereal to be real.
The sun has made its way to them after a little too long winter. “Look Anna Sun, flower of springs and we makes a heavenly combination. Isn’t it?” Said Sufi, Anna’s little sister, in sheer excitement. “And you know what Anna, Iris flowers made me always think of you, they remind me of you, my home, because you are my home. You have always been.” She said gleamingly while pointing towards the iris in her hands. “What I think Anna is that life is too short to tell how much I love and admire you, sometimes it seems unfair, but it is what life is about as you always say. Right? I have always seen you strong, powerful, loving, independent, calm, and collected, but I know there is another side of the story that you don’t tell me. It hurts to see all the burden on your shoulders, but you can always have my shoulder to lean on. As I don’t have much time left, I am leaving you this so you can always remember that there lived a soul that loved you to death”.
“Goodbye Anna, I will always be with you. I will be with you when you see Iris bloom to their glory, I will be with you when sun shines the brightest in coldest, you will find me in my favorite stuff toys, you will find me in the pictures besides your bed side table, among all you will find me in every things you and I have ever loved together.”
“Thank you for making me live this life to my fullest. You were pretty much the only thing that made me want to wake up every morning. You made it all worth living.”
Goodbye Anna,
Your little sister Sofi.
After saying that the video stopped and turned black, but there standing alone her sister Anna in heartbreak and bittersweet tears, unable to process all this after she had lost her only family, her sister,
Sofi, to cancer. The world was indeed unfair, she might have thought.
While she was still trying to process, the video played again where Sofi is mischievously smiling and said,
“I mean you can cry but look at you right now don’t cry too much, you don’t look too pretty like this, followed by her cutest laugh. Do you remember how much we laughed when a rat went into your shirt, and you danced and laughed hysterically. Please keep laughing like this, for me. You must live a life for me and for yourself.” “Okay now bye and take care of yourself on my behalf”, she said, while laughing and winking at the camera that was recording this entire video.
Anna remembered that it was a beautiful spring when she was born, and it was spring again when she died. She whispers to herself with a tinted smile, “Oh, so that’s why I love spring.” My life whole life was a spring when you were around, but my favorite spring was when you were born. Knowing, she did everything she could, and Sofi fought her best and said, “So long, my little love.”
