489. Kit And Brayleigh Poem by Jaden Knight

Every time when 16 year old Kit has a bad day
the ghost of her dead sister visits her at night
floating in the air in front of her
Brayleigh brings a smile back to her face

She brings good news and encouragement
telling her sister not to give up
and though she cannot physically touch her
in their minds they both receive a supporting hug

Brayleigh died aged 8 of leukaemia
but promised with her final breaths
she would never leave Kit's side
not even death would break the sisters' bond
she would always return to bring happiness and light
whenever her skies appeared to go dark

While life is not easy for Kit
she is comforted that her sister still cares
knowing she is not alone
that every time she is troubled Brayleigh will be there
to bring light and hope back into her existence
