This is a very poignant metaphor. An appropriate celebration of someone's life. It made me think of Katy Perry's fireworks. It's another tribute. I am sad for your loss. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability.

All these years later, you are still heartbroken. I'm so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine that each Fourth of July brings fresh grief.

This is a lovely tribute - it was a kind of stream of consciousness narrative of what it's been like for you.

I wish your soul peace.

Pam

This is a beautiful tribute to your sister. You created a beautiful picture of her in darkness and in light. I do not see any need for improvement. Have a blessed day.

I am so sorry for your loss and this is such a sad story about your sister who died of some kind of addiction. Your words are sensitive and memorable and I can understand that emptiness that you are left with when grief takes over. A sensitive and honest write that leaves me with a tear in my eye, love Dolly x

What a wonderful tribute to your sister. In a way, it is fitting that one so young die on the Fourth of July as her life was like a rocket, as brief in the long term, as a skyrocket. That's a wonderful and accurate comparison.

Is such beautiful words written for your sister is absolutely stunning! And I have the distinct impression that you understand the nature of addiction that addiction is not the person and the person not the soul within. She is home happy, healthy and smiling, She knows she will see you when it is your time and will be the 1st to greet you then.
My condolences on the loss of your sister and pray you look peacefully and happily until you meet again.
Having said all that I find this piece of work exquisite heart running and beautiful to behold, well worthy of 6 stars and if I could give 7 I would. Good luck to you in the contest and thank you for this beautiful and touching tribute to your sister.

Your creative story could well be described by using some of your own writing: 'A design all its own, extraordinary, breathtaking, and unusual.'
It feels very appropriate to describe your sister by being like a firework... she crashed and burned through addiction. Your sisterly love shines through.

Spelling correction needed here:
emerges like a star peaking (should be peeking) out from behind a dark cloud
