22.03.05

Fri Mar 23, 2007, 6:42 AM
I meant to post this yesterday, but lots of things came up.

22.03.05 is the day my sister died. She was 23 years old and had two children, Olivia and Lucy. Her name was Emma Carter.

She was a wonderful mother and a good sister, although I didnt always think so. We fought when we were younger. We started to get along when she left home. I remember one day when we were kids, she was in the living room watching tv and I walked into the room. She turned off the tv by the plug socket, then switched off the light and closed the door behind her, not even acknowledging I was there. I thought it was funny.

That was the way we were and I will love her for it. She had fight, you know. Her girls are the same, especially Lucy. That girl is an evil genius and she is only 6!

Its been two years since she died, but I still havnt gotten over it properly. I think about her most days, and I miss her so much it hurts. I drew a picture of her from a photo. I dont think it looks like her but people says its just right. I will post that as soon as I am able.

The moral of this journal is, I never got to know my sister because I thought we had time. We didnt have time. Whatever is between you and a family member, its not worth waiting to sort it out later. Sort it out now before its too late... I wish I had gotten to know her, she was a great person. She could be a cow, dont get me wrong, but who cant? She had her problems, but whos perfect?

I miss you Emma, I hope your happy now.

For those that wish it, I am making postcards of some of my deviations. If you would like one, let me know which one.

They will cost a princely sum of £2.00 for people in the uk, and £3.00 for people who live across the waters.

Note me or reply here if you are interested.

Sorry to read that Claire. I lost my brother when I was 9 and I still feel the shock and the pain of it even now. There is a massive hole where he was in my world, but all I can tell you is it does get easier.

I'm not sure one every gets over such a loss. :(

And you message is a valuable one ... we shouldn't take time for granted. We never know when someone may be taken away from us.

:hug:

I really have no way whatsoever to commiserate here. I've never experienced such a loss.

My sister and I are actually really close. We fight a little sure but we share interests and passtimes. My family as a whole is a very tight knit unit for that matter. Reading this actually comes at a time where I'm bringing to a close an undertaking started for my older sister, who is 23, 3 years and 2 months older than me to the day (8/19/83-10/19/86). With any luck I'll have proven successful.

Oh my god Claire. :tears: *sigh* :hug: That must be so hard. :petting: Thank you for writing about this. It is a hard lesson we all can learn from. :cuddle: I'm sure she is happy now...and perhaps there will be a reunion yet...at least we can hope. :)

Life is just waiting around for the next disaster. The only consolation is, one of these times it'll be fatal.
