this was taken in 2009 this is myself and my niece Nickie...she and I were very very close...we spent a lot of time together...unfortunately she passed away Dec. 22, 2011 at the age of 45 ....it was a devastating thing for me and my family...it was 3 days before Christmas...so my Christmas are very hard ..but I do a lot in her memory cuz she loved Christmas ...she loved blue lights on the trees ...so I do that just for her....truly miss her so much...she meant the world to me....they say that it gets easier but I don't feel that way ...I can't see her and hear her voice...and give her hugs...I know that the Creator opened his arms to her and accepted her and she is with family that loved her very much ....she was a beautiful person...had lots of love to give...love you and miss you Nickie forever and always...<3
