Day 23 – Something you wish you had done in your life.

I wish I had stayed in closer contact with my sister, Melody. That's something I cannot change and now it is too late. She died earlier this year from a flesh eating bacteria. It was just days after her 51^st birthday. It still tears my heart out knowing that I will not be able to see or speak to her again for the rest of this lifetime.

For the record, I'm not very close to my siblings (I still have a sister and brother who are alive) and we are very different people. It should also be noted that they haven't tried very hard to remain in contact with me. So why should it bother me that I lost that particular sister? That's easy. Melody accepted me for who I am. She didn't judge me or try to change me. Sure, she would challenge me, but only to be the best me I could be. I will always love her for that.
