My Sister

by

I Will never be able to say I’m sorry for all the disagreements we had.

I will never be able to say how much she meant to me.

I will never be able to call her when I have a problem.

I will never be able to lend her a piece of jewelry.

I will never be able to wear her hammy downs.

I will never be able to yell at her when she makes me mad.

I will never be able to laugh with her or cry with her again.

I will never be able to…

I will never hear her crazy laugh and phobia’s again.

My big, nutty, sister is gone; she left to be with my big brother…

All is left, is her memory and beautiful children.

My sister Mary was my sparring
partner, even though drove me crazy
with her insecurities was always there
for me and my boys.

She held my hand when my husband
left, she walked with when my sister
was ill, she cried with me when my
brother died.

Yes, we were not always the best of friends, but deep down we loved each
other dearly… We fought like cats, and dogs, but when either one of us were
in trouble we would be there. But unfortunately I was not there when she
needed me the most.

She died only two days ago.
I never knew she was ill until only a fews day ago. AML Leukemia struck her down in three days.

“If I died tomorrow what would you say today?”

    I’m sorry to hear about your losing your sister. Sisters and family members really help us weather the storms in our lives. I hope you’ll feel better soon. After your experience, you might have a new perspective in teaching your kids (if you have any) the importance of their sibs in their lives.

    I was reading your earlier posts. I wish you were writing in this election year. I would have liked to read what your views on this election. I am very disappointed you have not posted.

About Mom’s Soap Box

Moms Soapbox is a forum for all of the fantastically ridiculous issues that face Moms (and Dads) in today's world of information overload and endless checklists on how to be the perfect parent. My intention is to break some stereotypes about what a Mother should be and share with my readers the experiences I have had in raising my two teenage sons while trying to juggle graduate school, a house full of responsibilities and a desire to go with my gut when it comes to parenting. My hope is to show that you can be comfortable enough with yourself and your family to show the world that it isn't a competition but rather a journey to learn and laugh as much as possible
