They know us deeply and love us unconditionally. They know us even when we don't speak. They just know us. This memory of your sister fills me with warmth and happiness because of what she was able to give you but brings on a flood of tears because of the pain sheist have been feeling and what you and for the deep and painful losses your family had to experience. Oh Alexandra I want to run to your house right this instant and just hug you!!! Just a deeply touching and beautiful story!!!!
