My baby sister passed away last night--at the age of 49, a vibrant young woman stricken with cancer just a year-and-a-half ago.
She was the daughter my parents always wanted, after three boys, and the apple of our late father's eye. A few weeks ago, she said he visited her in his dreams and told her everything would be alright.
At that time she was much further down that lonely road we all must travel. I could never say she was wrong. It was the last time I saw her smile.
Ann Marie leaves two great kids, still making their way at 18 and 22. Most of all, I grieve for them.
There is another hole in our lives, she loved our daughter so. Much loved, she will be much missed.
