A Remembrance

Today is the 15th anniversary of my sister, Judie's death.    The week will be especially tough because on the 9th  it's my Mom's birthday ( she would have been 90).  I know my Mom lived a long and interesting life, but my sister's life was way too short ( she was just shy of 49 when she passed).  She has missed out on  so much in the family & the world.  She would have loved to see what wonderful people her son & niece & nephew have grown up to be. 
This is one of the last photos of the 3 of us together( Lto R--me, Tom & Judie).  We have many posed photos of the 3 of us growing up.  ( that's another post in it self!)  This was taken in 1989, I think around fair time.  Look at the hairstyles..I think we also took a photo from the back--hard to tell us apart then!

I'm so sorry that you lost your sister so early! That would be very difficult and sad. I love your photography and blog. I'm following you and look forward to future posts.
