What is Love? Baby don't hurt me.......

To really appreciate this post you need to be humming that and nodding your head to the side to the beat Night at the Roxbury-Style.


OK...I know SOME of you don't know this movie...but MOST do.


It may have been the last Movie my precious sister and I ever watched together....I don't remember. We acted out scenes from it when she came to see me at school my Senior Year I know.... My 5 ft 1 sister tried to carry me, also. She always hugged me and called me Kaleesha. She shared nachos at Rock Bottom with me. She loved Hot Wings and changing her hair color. She loved Night at the Roxbury. She loved me.


Here it is...the meltdown I KNEW would happen but hadn't yet. I am sad yet thrilled that after 8 long/short years I can still feel my loss...her loss so raw and painful. Almost like it happened yesterday.


Did you know that Brett and I look alike? Recently, I got a long bang cut into my hair and some highlights (don't worry...they are subtle)....it SCARED me the first time I looked into the mirror and I saw Brett looking back. Then it comforted me.

8 years ago some punk in a Land Rover stole my baby sister from me. He stole my parents baby girl. He stole Squires sister....my children's crazy Aunt Brett and he stole from the world one of the kindest, full of life people there will ever be. I still hear her laugh in my dreams and I feel her embrace...Brett was cooler than I will ever hope to be. She was compassionate. She was perfectly Brett.



Brett....I miss you more than ever....and this is for you.
