It's just a dress but it was my sister's dress. For years, I used to borrow her clothes when I had a need. Then I gained weight and she got sick and lost weight. After a long struggle she died last March. My heart is broken and I miss her. I have this dress hanging in my closet. Someday I'd like to wear it and wrap myself up in her sense of style.

  • @pezhead - I'm totally a one-shelf-at-a-time refrigerator cleaner. You cleaned a shelf. Take a celebratory deep breath. Pat yourself on the back! Repeat weekly for clean fridge with no drama. :)

  • @cyndiemi - So glad your DD is coming. Prayers and hugs for you. This is tough. My sister was on the 8th floor of Vanderbilt on and off, and I'd take the stairs for exercise and mental relief. I wasn't very fast but my legs and chest would be feeling it! Hospital's have tall spacing between floors.

  • @deepwoodslady - I'm so very sorry for your loss. Diane and her family were lucky to have your friendship and support during such a trying time. Hospice has been to the aid of my several family members. I can't say enough good things about them.

  • @astroamy - Oh yeah! I've noted your creeping down, down, down in weight with hardly a bobble. Losing 40 pounds is life changing in so many ways. I hate to call out numbers lest I upset the mental boat, but you've been sailing through. It's inspiring!
