Alisan Eddie

I have been dreading tomorrow for a year now.  June 19th would have been Alisan's 26th birthday.  Who was Alisan your probably wondering?  She was my sister in law, who was taken away too soon a little less then a year ago.  I believe I met Alisan in 2007 when her and my brother started dating.  There was really nothing you couldn't love about her.  My entire family grew very close to her.  Even though Alisan was 15 she started having medical problems.  When she was 16 her kidney was found to be the problem.  Her mother donated one of her kidneys.  From then on Alisan had to be on medcation.  By the time I had met her she had already been in countless surgeries.  The hospital was usually her second home.  But the only thing I ever saw out of her was a smile or a laugh.  She was so positive, and I never once heard her complain.  Later on in 2010 she had been sick with several serious viruses, and developed cancer from medicine.  I still never seen it coming.  She was smaller then me, but seemed to be one of the most invincible people in the world.  When I came to see her 2 weeks before she passed I never expected to see what I saw.  Like Alisan she was still just trying to laugh, smile, and joke as much as she could :) I'm so glad I came that day, gave her one last hug, and hear her say "I love you" one last time.  She left us on July 29th 2010.  I will never forget this special girl, and all the love and joy she brought to my life.  Here are a few pictures in the short time I knew her.

Chris and Alisan didn't ever get married.  They were together for 3 1/2 years.  Chris was planning on proposing when Alisan got out of the hospital and was feeling better.

I feel so lucky to have had you in my life.  I always wondered what it would be like to have a sister.  You let me experience that with you.  Forever sisters, forever in my heart.  I love you Ali.
