This was hard for her to sing...even though she's a pro at trying to hide it. Such a personal story, I'm always grateful she shares these with us. They help others heal with their own grief.

Hello! Thank you very much! Bravo!

Love the sisters. ❤️ My sister and I had an utterly different life than yours, and only one brother, but the love pours out of this song that makes me feel my deep love for my little sister. 🥰

We shared a room till I was 6 I'd look across my pillow Ask her if she was sleeping Try to keep her from her sleep We had a picture on the wall of a baby angel in a golden crown When the world came tumbling down on me and Marie God knows we couldn't be more different The two of us cut from the same cloth Where one end must be velvet soft The other denim and gabardine We were Sunday morning church Assigned seats at the dinner table Four older brothers raising a little bit of hell, then me and Marie She looks more like our mother She's prettier and softer And she always helps me find my way I've been lost a time or two She knows bigger words than I do But we both got the same size shoes And no one's ever walked in mine but me and Marie Marie turned 13, two weeks after daddy sat us down said your mama's died And it took me years to realize she wasn't out getting groceries I was waiting on a resurrection Saved by my disposition Our grandfather crying in the kitchen Couldn't bear the sight of me and Marie She looks more like our mother She's prettier and softer And she always helps me find my way I've been lost a time or two She knows bigger words than I do But we both got the same size shoes And no one's ever walked in mine but me And Marie Well, our big brothers are a Godsend We grew up and married good men God blessed us all with children We're a pretty tight family The baby angel's framed in my writing room And I stare at him some afternoons He must've known he had a job to do watching over Me and Marie

This song is about my family. My aunts Cathy and Jami are 11 months apart, grew up in a small home so they shared a room. They were inseparably, were their whole lives. Jami is the softer, prettier one. Cathy is the tomboy, the older. They had 3 older brothers, and their mother died when they were 8 & 9 years old. Jami passed away on 11/21, after a very long battle with cancer. By the way, her real name was Jane Marie.
