Today is day 28 since you have left. We have missed four Tuesday conversations. I have not been able to write you until now; it is too hard. I have never lost a Sister before. I never had a sister until you and I became friends, and, for a time, we were inseparable. We laughed together and we even scrapped together. Oh, the times we had, funny and sad…but mostly funny. I met you my Sister late in my life, and we always talked about “chosen” family. I have told you many times how honored I was to have you as my friend. You are the loyalist friend I have ever had and I could count on you near or far. You are the ONE friend my Mother often said that if one is fortunate to have one “true and loyal” friend at the end of one’s life, he is blessed beyond measure. You are that to me. I miss you dearly.
