If my older sister had lived to be old enough to work, she would be 65 today and eligible to retire.  Here is our picture with our matching tennis shoes.  I miss her terribly and think of her all the time.  Even though she has been gone for nearly 60 years, her voice is still in my head. The sentences I imagine her saying to me are always kind and supportive and uplifting.  Her spirit has gotten me through some difficult times.  She died so young.  She was just a child actually.  And even though she died at the tender age of seven she remains one of the most influential people in my life.
