On Thursday I received the news that my sister was taken off life support and passed away. She is 3 years younger than me. I was trying coming to terms with the fact that she is really gone and because she lived in Florida, she wouldn't have any of her siblings to see her off.
She had really fought a very brave fight against cancer.
My nephew, her son had driven the 15 or more hours from Nth Kentucky to be there with her husband when it came time to turn off the machines and to give support.
The next day, a little less than 24 hours later, he died while resting after not feeling well and vomiting.
So.... we are sad, very angry, devastated, worried for his wife and 3 lovely children and trying to
support each other.
I was going to phone him before he left Kentucky to let him know I loved him and have a safe trip but after phoning my sister's husband, I thought it was too late at night to be ringing him.
I really regret that I didn't call him.

Thank you for your lovely words. It is hard for me to face up to this but each day is brighter. I'm so grateful for a nice peaceful death for my nephew. Not murdered or crashed into by a drunk driver. XO
