We would spend hours on the phone talking about politics, relationships, our childhood experiences, our friends and our family. We spoke everyday sometimes three times a day. She was my biggest fan and I was her rationale. Her spirit left her body on this earth February 11, 2007 and since that day, I am careful to hold on to the memories that take me through the day, through the next week and through the next month. I am so honored to have been chosen to be her sister. She left the imprint of love on many people’s lives. In fact, please view the Necessary Room by clicking here to read a beautiful letter written to Doris by one of our intriguing friends.
Allow me to introduce her spirit to you. I wrote this poem for her five months before she transcended. It describes the essence of who she was. I admired her determination to succeed at everything she reached for in her life.
Doris
The door is not open Doris, you can’t go in.
No matter how high this door is
I believe I can win
No matter how wide and deep the water is
I know I can swim
That road is too long Doris, you can’t travel it.
No matter how wide this road is
I believe I can win, move over I’m signing in
As a matter of fact, please help me God
I’m traveling around this deep bend
That mountain is too high Doris, you can’t climb it.
No matter how tough this mountain is
Watch me chime in with the help of my next of kin.
Push me, Push me,
Do you understand that I’m going to win?
Let’s go, let’s go, I have something to do.
Don’t you dare tell me that I can’t obtain something new.
You can come if you want, because I plan to win
There is no door, nor any road, nor any mountain
That will prevent me from a win.
I love you with all that I am Doris!
