He ended up being an alcoholic and she was never able to have anything, but she stuck through it all. I still miss her.

I do have 5 sisters-in-law, but there are only two that are worth the time, one more than the other. At least she and I are pretty close.
Oh Janet, I'm so sorry about your sister. I can't even imagine how hard that must've been for you and your family.

That's great that now you at least have one person you can be close to in a "sisterly" kind of way. Some people don't even have that. *hugs*
