I just looked at the calendar and realized it was the anniversary of my sister's death yesterday. No wonder I was so weepy. I have talked about her a lot here so many know how close my sister and I were. I really do still miss her a lot. She was not just my sister but my best friend. It is funny how I don't even remember the date but yet my emotions relive it so easily. She has been gone so many years now but I remember the times we spent together like it was yesterday.

Sorry for your loss and it is wonderful that you still have those memories. I have a sister, who cares a lot for me, I know she loves me, but I feel like she smoothers me sometimes with advice that she thinks is good, and I don't. lol I complain, but I do know that I would miss her if anything happened to her. I haven't been to her house in 3 years, but we talk at least twice a week.

It does seem like there are times of the year that are harder to get through than others. My sister passed away over Labor Day in 1990. It still makes it rough to get through. Just remember the good times and live every day as if it was your last.

even if it's a long long time ago but still you can remember those people that are closest to your heart. sometimes our mind forgot but our heart will never forgot. although i don't know the real story but my heart will be in your side in times you felt like this. i experience like yours when my brother left us. until now i still remember him specially if i am alone, it was happen back 18 years ago.

Wether or not you remeber the exact date yuor heart always remebers.My mom passed away and without ever looking at the clocks or calendar my heart knows the date she passed away.Each year on that day I cry and laugh and just remeber her love and sweet kind ways.I am so sorry of the loss of your sister/best friend.I know it is hard to live without someone who touched you so deeply.Just remeber the good times and be thankful you had time with her in this life time.I wrote a poem on here a few weeks ago about the other side of life called The Shore.I write about my mom on here sometimes and it helps in the remebering process.So I understand you writing on here about your sister.It helps me to feel like I am letting my mom's memory live.I ma close to my sister also and just thinking about lossing her makes me hurt deep within my very soul...If you ever want or need to talk always know that I ma here and understand your pain.My mom was my best friend.It is so hard to let a best friend go...
