Patrice and I were more like sisters then aunt and niece… Patrice even though she always reminded me that she was four months older then me, that changed when we turned 40… 😂 she was always young at heart and saw things through rose colored glasses and staying young was extremely important! We played dolls and loved to dress up when we were young.As preteens, I loved roller skating, riding bikes, and playing football in the street. Patrice would rather fix her hair, keep her dress clean and fix her face while I loved to be outside not really caring about such girly things…saying all that, she was my best friend, my closest confidant and a part of my heart that lasted a lifetime! We had our first babies four months apart, just like we were. No matter where or how far apart in miles we lived, our hearts were always together… I feel like she took a part of my heart with her to Heaven. The only thing that helps is knowing that one day I will join her…carefree, no problems, no suffering and we can be those little girls just the way we started out in life. My heart 💔 misses you!
