It sounds like you were very close to your cousin and I am so sorry for your loss.

I never had family ties like that. What wonderful memories for you to have.

Sounds like you have a very special relationship with your cousins. I envy you that. Those memories are going to be your comfort. I am so sorry your cousin's life ended so young. We are not supposed to die so young.

We lost my stepsister in August to liver cancer. Rick and I were on Kauai and couldn't be there for the family. She was almost exactly my age, just 8 weeks older. We knew each other all of our lives because we were also cousins. Loved her like a sister. She and I grew especially close. Yeah, it's a soap opera.

Now Laurie is gone. She was the oldest, the leader of the pack. Smart, practical and tough, she ran a tight ship, raised two great kids. She stayed in her hometown and had an incredible circle of friends-.... She wove for herself a very rich tapestry of friends and family, richer than my own.

So here's a TUG toast to my cousin Laurie, may she remained cloaked in that tapestry she wove for all eternity.

That was so beautiful! It made me cry. Hugs to you.
