My sister died at age 43. I am/was almost 11 years older we didn't talk for three years I got a phone call from her that she had liver cancer. You would think I would have been the first person she call, I wasn't .but I did everything I could to help her. Family are strange Donna, we do what we do when it needs to be done. I did what I could, money, to NY Sloan Kettering, picking her up from chemo every week. You did what what you could. You reached out to her year after year. You did the best you could. Remember what good times you had. And wish her safe passage to wherever you think we go. Heaven, summerland wherever.Jo Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097746136477996167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371859845864099467.post-24871248736419146722016-03-28T12:55:06.519-04:002016-03-28T12:55:06.519-04:00I'm sorry for your loss, Donna.The loss of a c...I'm sorry for your loss, Donna.The loss of a chance to make things right, or at least find some closure. Your story reminds me of my mom and her sister. They were never super close, but 15 years ago, when my Grandfather fell ill with cancer, things got way worse. After my Grandfather passed, my mom refused to talk to her sister again. It's been fifteen years, and she's held to it. Families can be hard, and confusing.But it's good that you didn't have a constant negativity or disapproval in your life. Sometimes the best thing for everyone is to accept that blood family doesn't mean best friend. <br />Let yourself be sad over the loss of opportunity for a short time, but take comfort that you have another family, one of your choosing, who cares.
