Missing my sister

+ +

+Kim and me in a young pose +

+ +

Today Kim would've turned 41. I would've teased her about +another year over 40, "it's all downhill from here" and other +expected small talk. I would've asked her what she was doing +today and she'd respond: "Going out to sushi with Crystal" and +then "I'm driving up to Dad's this weekend."

+ +

And I'd get Ella on the phone so we could sing "Happy +Birthday" to her. Kim would ask Ella about kindergarten, and +about her trip to Kennywood and riding the roller coasters for +the first time, and the latest Magic Tree House book she's read, +and princesses and jewelry and other girl things.

+ +

But none of that is going to happen, because she's gone.

+ +

So instead we'll go out for sushi this evening and talk about +Aunt Kim and how much we miss her. And, inside, I'll get a little +mad at her again for not taking care of herself better and +leaving us. And I'll steel that resolve to keep going to the gym, +keep riding my bike, keep leaving a little food behind.

+ +

And then, late tonight, I'll think about us growing up and how +we always had each other -- through my dad being gone on cruise, +and moving all the time to new schools and new neighborhoods and +new kids. And just soak in memory for a little while, even though +they're ringed with sadness. Because that's what we have.
