| My sister was my bridesmaid. |
It doesn't seem long since I took that dreadful phone call from her husband on that Monday morning in 1999, but then on the other hand, such a lot has happened since.
We'll be taking some flowers to the crematorium this afternoon, though I don't need any special place to remember her, she's in my thoughts every day.
We never forget our sisters, do we. They shared some very special times with us. Thinking about you on this very special (and sad) day. God bless.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I miss my sister so much still. Twenty years have passed but I'll always remember the happy times we shared.
DeleteSuch a young age :-(
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you today x
Thank you. Yes, far too young.
DeleteThat's very sad to have lost your sister at such a young age. I can't even imagine how much you miss her. I hope you are able to find some comfort in the happy memories you have. I would have loved to have had a sister - (or even a brother) - and am envious of people who have siblings. Sending best wishes. x
ReplyDeleteI have lots of happy memories of the times we spent together. We were lucky to get on so well, her death has left a huge hole in my life.
DeleteThinking of you, it's a sad day.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's a very sad day.
DeleteI'm glad you had such a good sister and sorry that you lost her so soon. Thank you for sharing her memory with us, and bless you x
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm blessed to have so many happy memories and she's still spoken about as often as she would have been had she still been here, it keeps her memory alive.
DeleteA heartfelt post. xx
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem like twenty years have passed by.
Delete(sad face)
ReplyDeleteBut happy too for all the wonderful times we spent together.
DeleteThinking of you Jo. It sounds like you and your sister shared a very special bond. X
ReplyDeleteThank you. We really did. There were twelve years between us but you wouldn't have thought so.
DeleteShe looks lovely....
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for you loss...
Thank you. She was such a wonderful person, she had so many friends who still miss her as her family do.
DeleteThis is so sad to read, Jo. Sending you love and hoping you find comfort in those happy memories of the time you spent together. Best, Jane x
ReplyDeleteThank you. Memories are something which keep us going and I have so many happy memories, I'm blessed.
DeleteSo sorry you lost your sister so young. x
ReplyDeleteIt was a terrible shock, you think you'll grow old with your siblings, don't you?
DeleteI can't image being without my sister so my heart goes out to you. Sending {{{hugs}}}
ReplyDeleteI think a relationship with a sister is very special, I miss that bond we had.
DeleteSo very sorry dear one, I wish there was something we could do to take away the pain. Thinking of you, xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's true what they say, time is a great healer. I'm left with so many precious memories now.
DeleteVery sad, I'm sorry Jo. I'm sending a hug and lots of love. I know we've never met etc but we all care. Cx
ReplyDeleteThank you. I don't know what I'd do without all my friends here in Blogland. We may not have ever met but we do still care about each other, it's true.
DeleteLove and blessings to you Jo. I can imagine that this year it has been more emotional for you all.
ReplyDeletemuch love xx
Thank you. Yes, it's been a difficult year all round so far but there's still lots of things to be grateful for at the same time.
DeleteSo tragic that she died so young. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's sad when anyone dies but I think it hits us all even more when their life has been cut short.
DeleteI am sending you a hug, such a young age to lose your sister. I am so glad you have lots of wonderful memories of her and find them a comfort.
ReplyDeleteThank you. My memories are very special. My sister lived her life to the full and for that I'm grateful, she didn't waste a second of those forty two years.
DeleteSuch lovely words on a sad day. Your sister was obviously very dear to you.

My sister was such a special person in my life, it's still hard to believe that she's gone, even after all these years.
DeleteMy heart goes out to you today. I've never lost a sibling but it's heartbreaking to suddenly lose a loved one. How wonderful that you have the fond memories of her that will never be taken away. Sending you a hug. 🕊️
ReplyDeleteThank you. The death of my sister was such a heartbreaking event in my life and one I doubt I'll ever get over, but you're right, I will always have the wonderful memories.
DeleteI am so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother 28 years ago. He was 17 years older than me and I idolized him. You never get over the loss do you? Sending you a hug.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think things get a bit easier as the years roll past but you're right, you never do get over the loss. I miss my sister as much today as I did when she first died.
DeleteOh Jo! I know it is heartbreaking. I am so sorry you lost your sister so young. I know your memories serve you well though.
ReplyDeleteIt's so odd- I woke up this morning just missing my brother/only sibling- it was an especially deep ache in my heart this morning for some reason. He's been gone over 5 years now--seems like yesterday he was on the phone and laughing with me over some nonsense. xo Diana
I still get those feelings even after twenty years. It's still very hard at times but it's good that I have so many happy memories, and I'm sure you have some lovely memories of your brother too.
DeleteOh, how utterly heartbreaking. It's awful to lose a sibling, my heart goes out to you. Hugs.xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think you tend to think that your siblings will be around for most of your life, but that's not always the case. It's so sad when part of the family, especially those of your own generation, are no longer there.
DeleteA lovely tribute and remembrance post Jo.
ReplyDeleteShe went far too young.
You must have so many wonderful memories though, I hope they help.
God bless.
All the best Jan
The memories do help, we shared so many happy times together and it helps to remember that.
DeleteIt must have been so difficult to lose a sister at such a young age. I'm glad you have the wonderful memories with her and that's such a beautiful photo. Take care <3
ReplyDeleteI love this photo of her, one of my favourite photos from my wedding.
