We all have some God-given talent

Oh and Tink and DianaB, you are more than welcome to be our adopted sisters! The more the merrier...that's how it seems to go in our family, lol! Anyone else is welcome to join our sisterhood as well. hehe!

And in response to Traci's "we're different" post...it was kind of one-sided. She made me look way too good and her way too bad. LOL. Actually, I've always wished I was more like her because she's much more willing to take risks and I'm usually too scared or intimidated to do new things. At least I'm getting better now that I have a very adventurous, risk-taking husband. Also, she's a lot smarter than she gives herself credit for. The only reason she didn't make straight A's was because she was interested in other things, not because she couldn't do it. So there, that's my side. LOL!

I lost my sister to cancer in 1980. She died 3 days before her 40th birthday. She was 14 years older than I. When she died, I was 25 and we were just getting to know each other as adults. Her life was so different than mine. She was pregnant at 15, and married a different guy a couple years later. 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*

I'm very sorry as well Janet. I guess some of us forget how lucky we are to still having siblings to "fight with". I definetly understand how hard her life must have been. I, too, had my first child at 15 & married someone else at 17. Althought he was the alcoholic (& drug user). I tried it but never really "got into it". I'm 29 now with 4 kids & still struggling to make it. I'm sure you must get alittle peace from knowing she isn't struggling anymore & her spirit remains with you always.

Yes, I think of my sister quite often. She never had anything to speak of. She worked, her husband stayed home and drank. He was never abusive or anything like that, just a lazy alcoholic.

I do have two brothers, one is eight years older and the best there is and one that is 3 years younger and well, let's just say he's spoiled and a pain to be around.
