wow christine i love this and its so true. my sister and i were really close when we were younger but then i grew up and moved away and we led 2 seperate lives......i was just worried about myself and we saw each other one holidays and other occasions but i was too young and dumb and thought she would always be around to harrass me and my kids she was like my second mom bc she was 11 years older than me and i could talk to her about things i didnt want my mom to know. and she had beat all the odds beat cancer twice made it through a life of extensive drug abuse and had 3 beautiful and unharmed children. i just thought she would always be around. she would be there to pick up the peices if something happened to my mom. well shortly after my surgery last year in october we found out that she was dying of lung cancer at the age of 36 and then on new year eve 3 months after the news she left us. i watched her slowly smother todeath my sister that was tough as nails ans could beat anyone or anything. it was the most real thing that i have ever experieced along with my childrens birth. 3 months seems like a long time but its not!!! not near long enough when u lose someone and u need to tell them that u appreciate everything they have ever done for u. i miss her everyday! i wish i had those 3 months back to tell her how much i love her. and needless to say my brother quit smoking shortly aftger that. i wish everyone would!!!!this is so true.
