A life without a sister who was once in it is a sore point for me on two counts - my sister estranged herself from me, and my youngest daughter's sister passed away as a baby (they never met or got to experience any of those usual sisterly shennanegans).<br /><br />Thank you for these snippets of you and your sister.

I hope you also know I could make it all better and take the pain away. My only sister si 19 months younger than me and a lot of the dynamic you describe between you and Tun is the same with us. I can't begin to imagine losing her.<br /><br />I'm not sure if you ever listen to Elly Varenti on Life Matters on Radio National (yes, I am old and daggy) but just a few weeks ago she recorded a tribute to her sister, who died young after an amazing life. I listened to it in my run with tears streaming down my face:<br />http://www.abc.net.au/rn/lifematters/stories/2010/3022668.htm<br /><br />I hope I never know how you feel, but Elly does.
