Derek's Story,
A Brother's
Love
On May 27th 1983, Tiffiany Marie Olson
arrived as my baby sister. My name is Derek James Olson. I am
Tiffiany's surviving brother. It is hard to put into words what I am
feeling right now when I try to picture my sister.
I can say that I am truly blessed to
have had such a person walk through my life. She was a very spunky
kid who was usually in a great mood .As a child she was the little
princess, going to ballet school and playing dress up with her
dolls.
Although as she came into her teenage
years, she did have a slightly rebellious stage. I do believe after
this was when she really began to shed a light on people by the way
she would treat them.
As I look back, she had such an aura
when she would walk into a room. It was also very tough trying to
keep the boy's away. I was always there to keep her eye's open and
keep her steady on her course by showing her some of the skills that
I had learned along the way. Tiffiany began to use some of the
skills that various friends and family had taught her, and started
using them in her everyday tasks work, play or life in general.
Although she was taken from so many in the "blink of an eye," I just
keep thinking that I know that my mother and I will someday see her
again. She will be sadly missed by all, but gladly greeted when it
is our time. |
