As I sit here at my desk and read the other posts in the group Losing a sister, I finally don't feel so alone. Tracey died just two years ago from breast cancer. She was diagnosed and almost exactly 3 years later she lost her battle. I went every step of the way with her in her fight to beat this. Tracey never wanted to know the extent of her illness so it was a shock when she went into the hospital for siezures and les then 6 weeks later she died. The week before she went into the hospital we spent the weekend together down at the Jersey Shore. She said she had not felt that good in quite sometime. We played miniture golf, sat on the beach, went to dinner, played games. and then in 5 days she went into the hospital never to come back out. God I miss her. Someone just asked me what is my most cherished memory of my life. I replied my sister because that is all I have. God bless all of us. Our sisters would not want us to hurt and ache for them. They would want us to be happy and be positve role models for our loved ones around us. I haven't been the best in two years and it has taken a toll on my family and my two young boys. I make this promise today to Tracey, that I WILL take care of my family and cherish everyday with them. I can't be sad anymore, it hurts too much. So Tracey, rest in peace, I love you and I will see you again. Love you sis.
