Ariel, It is amazing to me that one experiencing such pain still writes so beautifully. I should not be amazed since often one is at their best when pain is the worst. My prayers are with you and your sister.

It's an emotional blow to learn you really can't go home again
because home has disappeared, natural beauties have been replaced by concrete and brick, our young siblings have grown old.
We experience change in our near vicinity as gradual and manageable. Kids grow slow - except that when you turn your head, there they are, the same but completely changed.
I've seen genetic traces of ancestors in odd places -- my aunt Pearl writes with the same hand my grandma Lucy used -- and I find gma's style of run-on sentences when I go back to edit my stuff. A photo from the early 1900s had a photo of my great grandmother - small-boned, deep-set eyes, a certain dare-ya expression that is duplicated with precision in my younger daughter. So your long absence has let you see the genetic stamp, the design of your parents replicated in your sibs. I hope this continuity will soon be a comfort and not a cause for distress.
Take care. :)pat

Ariel, I am so sorry to hear of these difficult times for you.
I cannot imagine losing my beloved sister, and here you are in the middle of such an event now.

Terry, once again, warm strength sent to you from me.
I know about that kind of illness, but there's so much more added into it for you, with the alienation feeling and the reminders of Ma and Pa.
Thank you for having the strength to let us know what's going on. I hope it helped you in some way to get it written down. I hope it also helps that strong thoughts for you and yours will be coming to you from this odd collection of strangers, your Blogit friends. Prayers will come from the religious among us and the deepest of thoughts from the unbelievers, like myself.
Look after yourself and Lady Ariela through all this.

Sweet Ariel,
This one truly broke my heart clean in half. I only wish I could say something to ease your sorrow...Yet I know there is nothing.
Please know you have my love, thoughts and prayers. If there's anything at all I can do for you, please let me know.
