We all have some God-given talent

I lost my sister to cancer in 1980. She died 3 days before her 40th birthday. She was 14 years older than I. When she died, I was 25 and we were just getting to know each other as adults. Her life was so different than mine. She was pregnant at 15, and married a different guy a couple years later. He ended up being an alcoholic and she was never able to have anything, but she stuck through it all. I still miss her.

I do have 5 sisters-in-law, but there are only two that are worth the time, one more than the other. At least she and I are pretty close.

Oh Janet, I'm so sorry about your sister. I can't even imagine how hard that must've been for you and your family.

That's great that now you at least have one person you can be close to in a "sisterly" kind of way. Some people don't even have that. *hugs*

I'm very sorry as well Janet. I guess some of us forget how lucky we are to still having siblings to "fight with". I definetly understand how hard her life must have been. I, too, had my first child at 15 & married someone else at 17. Althought he was the alcoholic (& drug user). I tried it but never really "got into it". I'm 29 now with 4 kids & still struggling to make it. I'm sure you must get alittle peace from knowing she isn't struggling anymore & her spirit remains with you always.

Yes, I think of my sister quite often. She never had anything to speak of. She worked, her husband stayed home and drank. He was never abusive or anything like that, just a lazy alcoholic.

I do have two brothers, one is eight years older and the best there is and one that is 3 years younger and well, let's just say he's spoiled and a pain to be around.
