"Missing You"

Odessia Porter

Yesterday

My Beautiful Sweet Sister
Happy Birthday in Heaven.
I thought of placing a balloon in this message and then I realized that it would be for me and not for you.
I remember us celebrating each other birthdays making it all about them.
You are very much missing. You were the glue that held us together. You gave us light in the darkness moments and lifted us up when we were down. You were one of the greatest Soul of God´s creation and I love that so much. Enjoy your Birthday in Heaven with your sister JoAnn, Mother Genevieve, Grand Mother Emily, Aunt Margaret, uncle Chris.

Today makes eight years since you gained your Wings and it seems like it just happened. I know that your Soul is at Peace. I think of you every moment of the day. It is hard not having you here for one of our deep conversations, but that was Gods plan. God knew how much I depended on you during my storms in life and God needed me to depend on Him to see me through.
Yesterday was Thanksgiving I cried and laugh to Myself thinking of you and the things we did together to prepared that great feasts. Oh the Joy that I had just being in that presence of one another. Never did I thought that one day you were going to fly away with God.
Life is not the same with you gone and your unconditional LOVE that you had for me and the family. The family has fallen apart scrambling trying to find their way. I know with GODS HELP we will.
I know how much loved that you had for Claflin University, so I am keeping your memory alive there.
Missing You So Much My Sweet Sister apart of me went with you the day you Fly Away!

Hello Sis
Oh how I wish you were here for me to talk to. Life is not the same since you Gained Your Wings and Fly Away. With you gone, our Family Matriarch my world has crumbled. There isn´t a day that goes by without me crying because of the
loneliness I feel without you. My heart is broken in pieces since your departure. I keep telling myself everyday that it´s going to get a little easier, but I know it will never get better.

Sis
Missing You so much. Missing our talks, laughters, quiet times, our meditation moments, our cup of coffee moments, traveling, going out to breakfast, lunch and dinner times especially Fridays and Saturdays, walking together holding hands, showing and telling each other how much we LOVE one another. Oh God how I lone for those moments again so much.
You always say to me that my heart will get broken by people that I love so much. It can be family or friends and you were so correct.
You were wise beyond measure and having you as my sister were the best part of my life. Oh God how I missed that.
At first when I sat outside in my car, there was one Robin that fly around in my view. Now there is the Robin along with many others friends that are flying around. So I say to myself that you have the Family Heavenly Ancestors letting me know that you all are watching over me.
You will always be my Blessings.
I Love You Sis.

Hello Sis
Missing You So Much. Yesterday 5/16 was my birthday. I celebrate ME all alone for my Day.
You and I always celebrate each other on our Birthday and with you not here in the flesh, I continue to celebrate us. I know that you are here with me in Spirit. I sat at a large table to accompany all of you (Genevieve, Emily, Marrie, Chris, JoAnn, Carolyn). I know all of you were there with me celebrating my Milestone. Although this was a Milestone, celebration for me, I did it with all of you in Spirit sitting right beside me.

Odessia Porter

April 27, 2024

Sis
My heart is always heavy of missing you. Having no one that I can have a conversation with is so hard. I am so Grateful to you for the 62 years that we shared together. Those were the best years of my life. God needed you more than I needed you, so he took you to your Heavenly Home.
As I think back on your actions the last years of your life, I now realized how God was working with you. You were so wrapped up in his words, you were so emotional and teary eyes when we discussed God purposes for us. You are my night in Shining Armor, you are my Hero, you are the one who help me to understand that I cannot change people thinking, I can Only change me.
I Love and misses you so much. Oh God how I wished that I could have a little more time with you.
I sat outside in my car often thinking about you. Thursday as I was sitting out there, two Red Robin´s flew together playing with each other. They were chirping very loud and I aim my phone to get a picture they flew away. I know in my heart that was you and JoAnn letting me know that you all are watching over me.
Oh God How I Miss You So Much.

Today I sat in my car as I normally do outside the garage facing the street. Tears falling down my face because of the loneliness of missing you. The wind was blowing very hard and I held my head up and looked ahead there was a Butterfly embracing the wind and continued flying toward my car. I watched as it flew toward the hood of my car and disappeared.
Then I started focusing on the Butterfly and to see if it was hurt from the wind, but I couldn´t see it anymore.
Right then I knew that was your Spirit letting me know that you are watching over me.

If God would grant me one wish, Oh what a joy that would be. Thinking of you every moment of the day and missing you more than ever. I only had you and you were always there for me. Now I am left all alone with no one to talk too and no shoulders to lean on.

I always knew life was challenging, but when you were here we used to talked everything through and that made it so easy. I remember you saying to me "be `vigilant´ because people not going to treat you the way you treat them ". That is so correct and I witnessed it every day.
This is a long lonely road and I know that God will guide me along the way.

Oh how I wish that you were here with me physically. I know that you are with me Spiritually. I can feel you presence all the times.
Today, I sat outside in my car and this bird suddenly appeared. It was across the street in the neighbors yard. It stayed there for a while pecking in the ground. I know that it was your Spirit cheering me up because I was feeling very low. You know exactly how to make me feel refreshed when life gets tough and I don´t know what to do.
Oh God how I missed you so much.
Until we meet again.

Hey Sis
My heart is so heavy. Sometimes it seems like life only throws me curves balls and I have to work very hard to figures it out. I remember you and I sitting down talking and analyzing our thoughts. You were so good at making every situations so easy with your calm smoothing voice. Oh how I missed that so much. So many nights I laying in bed cannot sleep because of missing you so much. God knows I am trying. Continues to watch over and protecting me until me meet again.

I forget to mentioned that the tree in the front yard of your house fell down from the storm that we had Tuesday January 9, 2024. The young man that does my yard did a great job of cutting it up and removing it.

Now this one pea don´t have you to communicate with and are in this pod just being not living, but being. My heart aches so much for you. Every morning when I open my eyes I am surprised, but I give God Thanks. You always say to me, "you can handle it Odessia", but the strength that you saw in me, I do not see it in myself.
I am so lost without you. Continue to be my Guardian Angel watching over me because I really needs you.

Hey Sis
There are so many hurdle in this road of life that I have to jump over to get relief. At times that hurdle is so high to climb over, but holding on with faith in God I am surviving, not living life to my fullest, but barely surviving. Having you here with me I felt so protected and with you not being here I am at a lost trying to find my way. Why did you go away from me leaving me all alone scuffling trying to figure life out? Being here without you wasn´t in my life plans.
God had different plans for us taking you and leaving me.

Hey Sis
Your Birthday is coming very soon. Your age STOPPED at 64 years old. I often think about you, my mom, and JoAnn. I think about me being the youngest and reaching age that none of you reached. I started feeling lonely for you all wishing that we were still together. Although Mother Dear Gained her Wings at the age of 33 leaving three little girls 5, 3, and 2 years of age.
You are always with me sending one your two favorite animals (Red Robbin Bird and Butterfly) letting me know that things going to be okay. Your faith was so Powerful and Strong and you kept me right there with you. Oh God how I missed YOU so Much. I remember how You always say to me that "This To Shall Passed". I hold on to that thought taking it wherever I am. When you become ill, I prayed so hard for a healing for you because I didn´t wanted you to go. You prepared me for your transition, but I wasn´t ready. You were my ONLY friend and I am having a hard time here without you. You made me promised you and I did, but oh God how I want to pulled that promise back. I Love You So Much Sis. Gone Too Soon!

Today makes six years since you gained your wings and fly away to your Heavenly Home with God.
When you left, a part of me went with you. Oh how I pray for you
to be here with me, but your Earthly task was completed. Although I wanted you here with me God had Bigger plans for you. Oh how I pray asking God for Heaven to accepts phone calls and visitations so that we could talked and visited like we used too. If only tears could build a stairway to Heaven so that I could walk through those pearly gates and embrace you holding so tightly never letting go.

Sis,
It was the 29th November, a day that I will always remember because that was the day that my heart was broken for the second time. 33.3% of my heart left August 29, 2011 the day that JoAnn made her transition, another 33.3% left when you made your transition.

There is not a moment that goes by that I am thinking about you two, I only have good things to say about you two oh God how I am depending on you to see me through the hurt that I am feeling. I am always awake at night when others are sleeping crying and talking to God wondering how are you all doing up there in Heaven. Remembering you all I do everyday, but missing you all is a heartache that won´t go away. I am so grateful to God for giving me two of the Best Sisters that I could ever ask for. I tLove you two through all of the pain and hurt that I am feeling.

My Sweet Sis,
Five years ago today, your Memorial Service was held. That was so hard and still is. You were such a Blessing to me an I am so grateful to God for having you as my sister. You were the Best Sister anyone could ask for an i Give Thanks to God every day for Blessing me with a sister as great as you if it only was for a while. Now that you are gone away to your Heavenly Home, I will continue holding you so dear in my heart forever.
Missing you like crazy!!!!
Gone too soon!!!!!

Sis,
This bitter-sweet day, my heart is so heavy and my mind is so lonely. Five years ago, you slipped away with us right by your bed side holding your hands. If tears could bring you back, I've shed enough to build a stairway to Heaven. If I could walk up to Heaven and hold her in my arms so tightly so that nothing could separate us. If I could gain one wish from God it would be to have you here with me. If I could have one last conversation with you Carolyn, I would say again and again how much I love you. If I could've only touch you with my hands and heal your body. Oh God how heavy my heart is right now. When you left you took three forth of me with you. The forth that is left is still finding its way to cope in this world.
Every day is a Struggle for me to exist and nothing is making it easier.
Thank you for sending My Grand Baby to help me cope with losing you. God knows I am trying.
Missing you so Much.
Gone too soon!

Happy Birthday in Heaven Sis.

Today I will remember you with the things that you used to do. You never made a big thing about your Birthday although we did.

You reached that Atonement with the Divine Intelligence. You was so ready to go to your Heavenly Home although I didn´t wanted you to go. You was so Spiritual always speaking positive about everything and seeing the good in everyone. You lived your life here as That Spiritual Being that Lived in the Spiritual Universe That Had that Human Experience. You never allowed that Human Experience to come between you and your Faith in God. You will live in my heart forever.

I admired you so much and still remember those words of encouragement that you gave me all the times. I Love You and miss you so much until my heart hurts like crazy. You are and will always be my HERO even if you are not with me physically, your Spirit is Always with me. Never in my life have I thought of you gaining your Wings. But, God had great plans for you and you are in Heaven doing the mission that God designed for you.

September 13th would´ve been your 69th Earthly Birthday, but your earthly job was over and you enter your Heavenly Home at the age of 64.

A part of me went with you that Tuesday Night when you transition and fly away to your Heavenly Home. You told us that you were going to fly away to Heaven with God and you did. I did everything in my power for you not to go, but Gods plan was set in STONE. I tried so hard to hold you here with me. I remember Someone saying we have to open the windows so her Spirit can fly away. I didn´t wanted to do that because I knew that you would go. As soon as the last window in the bedroom was open, you transition to peacefully leaving us in shock that our Strong Tower has departed to her Heavenly Home.

Although God heard my Prayers and still wiping away my tears, God took you away from me leaving me all alone.

I am trying very hard to keep the promised that you made me tell to you before your transition. It´s a struggle everyday, but I am trying.

Missing you Soooooo Much Sis. Promised to drink a cup of coffee celebrating you. Happy Birthday in Heaven!!!! Odessia
