What a couple of cuties DMC, so sorry for your loss

Thanks Debby! Mom always dressed us like twins. This is the only photo I have. I’d like to go thru her photos but I am irritated with her husband right now. I may have to get my nephew to do it.

This is one of my favorite pictures of my little sister and me (I'm on the left and she is on the right). We were all dressed up for Easter.

She was my best friend and my earliest memory (I was 2 when she was born). She passed in 2001 and it's the kind of loss you never get over. But how lucky I was to have had her in my life.

Old photos make me cry, but they are so nice to have. Hope you get some of your sister's DMC.

I’m not over losing Linda yet - I probably never will be.

And that is perfectly OK!!!!


My condolences to all who have lost a sibling. Parents and grandparents are hard enough but a loved sibling is just too close to our own mortality.

I lost my 51 year old sister in November. She doctored for 2 years and she never got an accurate diagnosis of what was wrong with her. She died in her sleep as her heart finally gave out. I think there was doctor negligence. She was my Irish twin.

I'm so so sorry!

Oh, how true. We were looking at our honeymoon album with son and his family this weekend. The Princess has become more beautiful. I have aged.

You're awesome!

Aww, the Easter dress up. Beautiful young ladies. Sorry for your loss.

Aww, shucks.

Rachel would love the fact that this thread has been rejuvenated. She was that kind of special.

I know you all have probably heard me say this before, but I think we learn more from our siblings than we do from anyone else. We keep secrets for each other, so we learn to be trustworthy. We get into arguments and have to make peace, so we learn compromise. We bounce ideas (good and bad) off each other. We learn to rely on each other while learning that the people we love the most sometimes still need their own space. We have to share - rooms, toys, clothes, our parents’ attention - which teaches kindness and patience. A sibling relationship is actually like a little mini-civilization, and we take what we’ve learned from each other and apply it to dealing with co-workers, employers, educators, and friendships. Respect, humor, resolving conflict, support in good times and in bad - we learned them all from each other.

I cherish my sisters and brother. From childhood on, they’ve been the people I share inside jokes with. They’re the first people I call when something wonderful has happened, when I need a shoulder to cry on, and when I think I need sympathy but actually need a good kick in the hiney. They call me for the same reasons. Nothing between us has changed over the years and through the years of separation.

Linda and me

Me holding brother Ron, Lori in front, Linda behind her. Bev wasn’t born yet.

Trying to get our annual sibling photo takes a long time. It takes a lot like these to get one decent one! L to R - Bev, Ron, me, Lori, Linda

What we ended up with - finally.

It took 25 photos like this…..

….to get one like this.

This was the last time we had such a blast trying to get our sibling photo….3 weeks later Linda was gone.

@DigMyChicks, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. It’s so hard to get through, I know.

@N F C , that’s an adorable picture!! You‘re both so beautiful!
