She threw a blood clot so damn big it blocked both her lungs and she passed in minutes with no suffering; if there's a good side to this, that'd be it. <br /><br />Now it's been two and a half years and every day I cry with the sorrow and pain of her death. There's never been anyone who died in my life that has affected me so deeply. Take every opportunity to hug your sisters.<br /><br />I'm so blessed that I have a sister by another mother who loves me more than words can impart; that relationship has helped me heal from the loss of my Teri.Lynda Halliger Otvos (Lynda M O)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08938791116446859160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198460211087859887.post-17261520851699636502008-09-17T21:19:00.000-07:002008-09-17T21:19:00.000-07:00I've been in Hawaii for 26 years, so being away fr...I've been in Hawaii for 26 years, so being away from the family I come from has been tough. Instead of watching my neices and nephews grow up, I remember each size by my trips. And watching my parents age was harder - each trip they seemed enormously different. Scarier, now I am turning into them!Pseudohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10430783970802030846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198460211087859887.post-81546973895533851512008-09-14T12:02:00.000-07:002008-09-14T12:02:00.000-07:00What a great post, I envy you your relationship wi...What a great post, I envy you your relationship with your sister and wish I had such a good one with mine. I do have some relatives that I am close to, though - and they are halfway across the country. I haven't been "home" in 6 months and I miss them. It's tough when you live far away, but you know that where you are and what you're doing is the right thing. Sometimes they don't get it though.K Dubshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860159504793727118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198460211087859887.post-86806785324506096722008-09-11T13:15:00.000-07:002008-09-11T13:15:00.000-07:00Aw, now you've got me missing my sister...

Made me cry - which isn't very convenient because I am trying to get my three daughter's off to school and you're definitely messing with my synchronized morning schedule - even a minute can throw me off! I contemplated living in Hawaii at one point in my life. I have friends there and met my ex in Maui - it is such a beautiful place, but yes, far away unfortunately. Thanks for visiting my blog. I will be back to check up on yours. I imagine you'll be busy grading papers for the next week or so!Marie Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018769360185247566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198460211087859887.post-57378616368640735902008-09-09T22:24:00.000-07:002008-09-09T22:24:00.000-07:00I have one slightly younger sister that during the...I have one slightly younger sister that during the late spring and thru til sept i see every day on the weekdays when we walk together in the early am...then in sept we have different work schedules so lose that early am walk...i was just thinking about her today and decided i was going to send her an email with funny pics...from my dog...telling her how much we miss her company...cos she'll get the humour of a pic of the dead mouse that i wouldn't let the dog have, as well as a few other silly and twisted images we collected today...there's nothing better shared than an inside joke between sistersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198460211087859887.post-91204080881940207132008-09-09T22:16:00.000-07:002008-09-09T22:16:00.000-07:00the funny thing is that i love my sister for all t...the funny thing is that i love my sister for all the same reasons, plus more. i'm just missing her a bit too much right now to be as eloquent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198460211087859887.post-2697630545080056572008-09-09T20:03:00.000-07:002008-09-09T20:03:00.000-07:00Four!
