I wanted to write a poem in memory of my 11 yr old neice Carrie but I can't. All i can do is sit and stare at this screen. She was taken this morning jan 18th at 5 am by a house fire. I didn't spend the time with her I should have in fact she lived 30 mins from me and I hadn't saw her in three years. Now I'm sitting here cursing myself and even though Its not my fault shes gone, I could have got to know her better, I could have been there for her. I could have been a better Aunt but I wasn't. All I can think about is the saying you never know what you got til its gone. I loved her and as i sit here crying and wishing I had known her better and taken the time I should have taken I just keep reminding myself life is short, and tomorrow is never promised. Hold the people close to your heart that mean anything to you. I was so busy with my own little world I didn't take the time I should have with this precious little girl and now shes gone. She didn't have any easy life by any means, in her short 11 years that is. Im so sorry Carrie.. I love you dearly and we will all miss you.
