Thank you lindalong and shani...:)

How many times in our life have we had to look back and wonder, if only I had done something else. We remember all those harsh words we said, that time we turned out back in order to keep our sanity, that encouraging word we should have spoken.
We realize how much we have lost when those we loved are now gone.
Thank you for reminding us to be more attentive to those we love and care for.

I'm flattered and appreciative of everything you said here.
Thank you for stopping by.
My best to you,

Not only does this book tell the touching story or a sister's love and the many emotions that come with the experience of a sibling's death, but it is also particularly well crafted and written with an engaging style.

There is a maturity to the writing, that separates the amateur from the professional. The author doesn't "attend a funeral." She visits a family reunion that her sister has inspired. She doesn't wait for the elevator doors to open, she "waits for the ding."

With few words the author paints a picture and tells a story. Particularly personal and at the same time universal in its themes. Those tiny moments we remember that define huge events. Messy eye shadow. A cracked toe nail. The sound of machines doing the breathing.
Anyone who has ever lost anyone or visited the dying in a hospital can relate to thse tiny, but significant, observations.

I appreciate your thoughts and comments. After reading some of your writing, I can see you are 'forever the optomist', and I love people like you.
The beginning of my story focuses on one of those 'little things' that will be with me forever. The second half is one of those life-changing 'bigger things', that will also be with me forever. I am a sum of all these parts, and so much more.
Thanks again for stopping by.
Much appreciated.

Poignant and telling.
I think we all have that one particular moment in our lives that will never leave us. Sometimes it can be the smallest thing.
Loved the read,
Lee:)

I read your book and was quite impressed. Your comments and vote mean a lot to me:)

When I asked you to read this, a lot of what I wrote in this story slipped my mind. This might have hurt a little. We have SOOOooo many good stories to talk about. I've already told you much of what she and I were like together...all those years ago. I wanted to dedicate this to you, but I think I can do something more in-line with how much you meant to her when you were a wee-one. You were her entire world:)
Thanks Timmy...I love you too.
