Big hugs!

Thankyou Laura, I needed that right about now.

awwwww, thankyou Laura. How are you doin?

Good Morning

Oh thankyou so much Laura, you really dont know how much that means to me. We are all doing well thank God. Sometimes its just a phrase or a word or even a smile, (like in your picture) that makes life feel that much better.

It is so true... You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.... In my mind I knew she was going to be there until we both died of very old age... in our 90's... together... watching old movies and talking about the past.. falling asleep one quiet evening and gently leaving this world behind... together! Boy was I wrong! When I first heard the words in my ears that Marlene had died... it took many many minutes for those ridiculous words to make their way into my brain and then quite some time to form a believable thought that it was indeed the horrible truth and not some bad joke or a bad dream I was having. I still remember sitting in my car at the moment I heard the news and feeling this awful sensation that traveled from the top of my head down through my legs to my feet. If I had been standing I would surely have fallen down. I lost all energy. I felt heavy as though I had turned to cement. I was lucky I could even breath. A hundred thoughts flew through my mind... questions.... no answers.

So... hug and kiss those sisters and tell them your feelings! You just never know!

I have to say here that I am privileged to have a wonderful loving sister-in-law who is also a twin. She understands. She is here for me when I need her.

Thank you, Laura!

Just dropping by and saying hi!!

You are very welcome

Five years eh? That beats me by about... three years I think.

That was so hard to believe! I immediately went to your profile page and saw that indeed I was the first friend in! I suppose everyone is waiting for you to invite them would be my guess! Don't worry.... you have lots of friends here! I'm happy to be one of them!
