Bereavement
Related: About this forumToday would have been my big sister's birthday
She would have been 74.
Both of my sisters were Type 1 diabetics from an early age. They spent a lot of time in the hospital. This sister, Ruth, had both legs amputated. Her husband divorced her, mostly because she couldn't have kids, and he got tired of dealing with all the problems.
We got to be partners in crime before I moved to Calif, but still talked often. She started my love of horses when I was very young.
I miss you, Ruth. You shine on. I'm going to go ride my horse now.
