Thank you so much
Ladies,
Thank you all so much for your kind words. We are going through the motions so that we can help my brother get through this...I was thinking about how long I have known my SIL and realized that I have known her my entire life. She was born in 54 and I was born in 55. Her mom and my mom were friends and so we crawled around in the floor together and learned how to play hopscotch, jump rope, and red rover together. When we were young girls and she told me she loved my brother and was going to marry him, I thought she was nuts. When they were married, I would go hang out with her while my brother worked in the oil fields. I was with her when she gave birth to their first child and when she had the second one, I was her nurse. Tomorrow we have visitation at the funeral home. My brother called me and said he didn't think he could do this and I said you will do this and I will hold your hand through the entire thing. He said, promise you won't leave me because I cannot talk without crying so you talk for me...I said, like when we were kids and you were shy and he said yes. damn my heart breaks for him.
Hello Jeannie....you are a wonderful sister to your brother. He will be glad he went. He trusts you and loves you very much. He will make it through with you at his side. How wonderful!
I didn't know that you and your SIL actually did grow up together. That must have been so fun being so close in age. You were probably more like twins!! Actually being there for the birth of her babies really makes that relationship even closer. She said she was going to marry your brother and she did just that!!
This will be a difficult time for you all. I will be thinking of you and your family. You have my condolences.
Much love and many hugs to you....connie d
