Just wanted to start another thread for you. I'm sorry your sister died. I can't even imagine that happening.
I'm very lucky no one close to me has died.
My hamster died and that was very painful for me. I still miss him a lot and get very sad when I think of him so I can only imagine how sad you are.

That was very kind, Deneb. I hope you and your sister will have some great times at her apartment. I remember I loved to go visit my sister when she had her own place and I still lived at home. I was about 15....

I'm glad you had such a great time with your sister. Knowing sisters can be lost makes me cherish the time I spend with my sister now.
We grew apart but I hope that will change. She can be annoying sometimes, but I've discovered just how much I miss her.

geez, I love my sister too. I'm so sorry henrietta that you lost yours. My sister had a brain tumor a while back, and it was big, like lemon sized or bigger. She had brain surgery to have it removed, and I traveled to her home and spent every day with her for like a week (I didn't get a lot of time off then). It was some scary stuff and I care not to EVER experience that again in any way.
She did however do suprisingly well. My sister is a little ridiculous in that regard. She should have rested a lot longer. She couldn't handle the idea of not going back to work. I still joke with her about the ridiculous things she tried to do just after she came home from the surgery. She was like...'sorry I'm so boring', and I'd be like 'what are you crazy? you've had brain surgery, don't worry about it.'I do appreciate sisters, very much.

Whoa! I didn't think that was going to turn out well, and I was joyful to see that it did. Celebrate! It's wonderful that your sister made it through. Celebrate!

So glad your sister was okay sid.
I'm an only child & have always felt a sense of almost emptiness about it.

she really helped me survive a pretty awful home environment
she was 11 when I was born and I get the sense that she did a lot of the mothering. I had a bit of a scary birth, my mother had a placental abruption. My mother didn't know it, but she was bleeding...my mother did not seem appropriately concerned. My sister told me about how she had to tell my mother to go to the hospital. I think I believe it, I don't want to believe it, but I do. My sister is extremely kind, and we both had a pretty unkind upbringing. My brother is pretty amazing too. He is very smart and he can express some affection. He's not perfect, but so what. My sister isn't perfect either, she can be quite fragile and get really hurt.
I have to warn people sometimes about my brother, about how he comes off sarcastic and dry, but how he's really pretty sensitive. So they shouldn't come back with really harsh comebacks, because he doesn't really mean any harm, it's just who he is.I really do like them both sincerely as people, even if they weren't my siblings. Since they are my brother and sister I look at them with amazement, because they know a bit about what I've been through....sometimes we tell war stories. It's nuts.
This is the end of the thread.
