Of course I have three beautiful children, and an amazing husband. I have an awesome extended family, and many blessings, but I struggle as to why those who are truly irreplaceable die young.
So while I am in these incredibly dark days, I have been struggling to find inspirational and positive quotes to help float me through my days, and while it doesn't heal the hurt, it certainly puts a pretty good band-aid on it for the time being.
Lets all be real... I don't think a sibling can really ever get over the loss of their closest sibling. Yeah... I have a brother, bet you didn't know that! Because I am not close with him, at all. And even in the recent years life had drifted myself and my sister on different paths in life, but it doesn't change the amazing relationship we had our entire lives. She was the ying to my yang. My partner in crime. I was the getaway driver in her schemes. And we had a blast.
I have hundreds of hysterical stories I will always have with me. No one will ever be able to take them. And I will cherish them every day for the rest of my life.
While searching through some good quotes yesterday I came across one that has always stood out to me, and always will. It is from one of my all time favorite movies, The Shawshank Redemption. You know you have seen it, and if you haven't you need to stop right this moment, get off the computer, and go rent it right this minute!
Then there it was...
"I guess it comes down to a simple choice. Get busy liven' or get busy dyin'"
And all I could think of is what my sister would have wanted me to do. Sitting around crying, and sulking about the given situation... Hell she would have kicked my ass. Not that she physically could have, but man it would break my heart when she was upset with me.
Looking back now over the decades we spent together... I don't think we ever really fought like so many siblings do.
Damn, she is going to be one amazing angel.
