my sister has walked on.

got the call this morning that my sister's trials are over.
dont think there is anywhere that she is now, i just know that she isnt in the last place on earth i want to be, myself.

she was in hospice, but nobody thought it would be this quick.

my youngest shares a birthday w her, and was very upset about the move to hospice. she is in the hospital herself, with a mysterious liver problem.
i talked to her this morning, intending to tell her, but right now she is in out of control pain, so i am just gonna wait on telling her for now. hopefully later today she will be a little more able to take the news.

I hope you an find some peace in remembrance.
2017 has been a brutal year for the loss of loved ones. Five family funerals this year for me.
I truly feel for your pain.

(or maybe you have had)
I'm so far behind in everything after having just come out of a 2.5 week stay in hospital.

I'm SO sorry that the final walk came so quickly. I have a sister and I cannot imagine losing her.
My heart goes out to you Mopinko. Sisters are a special blessing.

May your special blessing rest in peace.

Fly with the angels...

My sincere condolences to you and your other sister. Healing thoughts for your family.

kesha.

no funerals in the family for years. i hope this isnt a trend.

daughter is out, and feeling well these days. (she dumped her a-hole boyfriend, and i hope that helps. kid has a mega-watt body-mind connection.)

thanks for the heart and the hug.
i love this family, too.
