Many of you may not know that my sister died from cancer this past year. It was very hard for me since we were close my whole life. She was my older sister, and always took an interest in me.
I have fond memories of her as a child. She was a flower child, straight out of the 60’s, looking to change the world and make her own way.
She had a whole life before her, and it was cut short. I miss her often, and I always cry when I think of her.
Life without her is hard. I spent most of my vacations since childhood with her. But even in death, I learn from her. Her thirst for life makes me want to be better. But I am flawed, as I tend to retreat from the world when it becomes overly complicated.
I miss her words and encouragement as I face so many confusing odds in life. Just having her encouragement meant everything to me. I could certainly use it now.
Death of a loved one is so hard. The good you took for granted is gone. But for me, my sister will always be alive in my thoughts and visual memories.
