Hello and Happy New Year to all my friends
My blog was in November and sadly I did lose my sister Paulette to lung cancer. She was diagnosed in September and left us on December 27th. It was a very difficult Christmas, as you can imagine.
Her daughter was very blessed in having a beautiful little girl, Olivia, on December 2nd. God does work in mysterious ways... My sister was able to attend her daughter's baby shower and shared Christmas with her family before she had to go...
She was only 51 years young and would have celebrated her 52nd birthday on January 9th. I miss her terribly and my heart is very heavy... one day at a time, as they say. It was a very difficult year with the passing of my daughter's best friend, who was only 20, in March of 2011, and my best friend Monique in August of 2011.
And my beautiful sister in December. I pray that 2012 will be kind. All the best to you all, my Ostomate friends...

Hi Dee... I'm so very sorry for your sister's passing! I know how you feel because I lost my sister 1.5 years ago very suddenly to a heart problem that none of us saw coming! I have such a void in my life without her, and I miss her so very much! She was my oldest sister and passed way too early; she was only 51! So I'm so very sorry for you, and may your dear sister R.I.P.! And I'm with you and praying that 2012 will be kind and happy! Keep in touch!!! Sandra

Hello Dee, sorry to hear about your sister. The same fate may take my sister. She had breast cancer about 5 years ago and just found out that it is back. It has metastasized into her bones. I have that sinking feeling in my gut that she will not make it this time. It's hard to see her and imagine life without her in it. And I get choked up every time I see her. You have lost your best friend and sister. That must be horrible. I wish you luck in this new year.

My prayers are with you and others. You are blessed you got Christmas with her and she made your daughter's baby shower. So Dee, your sister is happy in heaven and looking down on you all. Just keep her in your hearts; she will always be there. I lost my best friend of 38 years and my husband. I know how I feel. Hang in there; it does get easier as time goes on. Best of the new year. Sharon.

So sorry for the loss of your loved one, my friend. You and your family have my deepest sympathy and understanding; words can't truly express. I too lost someone very precious to cancer (very quickly) at 52 years old. There isn't a day in the last 9 years that I don't think of her and gather strength in the knowledge that she watches over me. In my heart, I know, if it's possible... she certainly found the way, and I bet your sister did too. I wish you comfort... BEG
I would like to thank all of you for the kind words; it meant so much you can't even imagine. Days are getting a little easier, but we miss my sister terribly. I am blessed with 2 other sisters and one brother, and we are very very close; it does help. It has been very hard on my Mom and Dad, as you can imagine. Take care, all.
