A couple of weeks ago, I posted a tribute to my mother-in-law who passed away from brain cancer. This past Monday, June 6th, I lost my sister to the same disease. They both followed the same path of the past several months. As my mother-in-law hit a bad milestone, my sister soon did too. Needless to say the past year or so has been a very stressful one for my family, especially the last couple of months. In my sister’s obituary, my mom write how my sister loved horses. That brought back memories from my childhood; one of us sitting on our pony, Winnie, and my sister, sitting behind me, started sliding off. She never let go and ultimately pull me off as well. Another time when we were a little older, we rode too close to a pigsty. The horses we were on apparently were afraid of pigs and began rearing up. My sister fell off so I jumped off my horse and to and make sure she was ok. Of course our less than loyal horses high tailed it back to the barn which was a mile or so away. As an adult, my sister’s life was never easy and she faced many challenges. But she was strong and she always fought. She fought cancer for almost 6 years and refused to give up, even at the end. At first I thought about posting a horse photo to honor her life, but ultimately I wanted to share this one as the wings on the tern look like angel wings. I want to give her these angel wings.
