Today is July 19th... for anyone who still does read this, today one year ago I got that horrible phone call that Cindy had cancer. That is a day that will always stay with me. Hearing my mother's voice, seeing my father sitting on that kitchen chair and knowing that things were never going to be the same again. I just dont think anyone expected that it was the first day towards the end.
There are so many thoughts running through my head today... but I think that for the most part I want to just say that at least today I can think of Cindy with a smile, remember good moments, her laugh, her smile and how she always managed to keep her strength about her, even when she was at her weakest.
I love you Cindy, I loved you then, and I'll always love you... See you again someday sis.
Always,
Sherry
PS: The unveiling of Cindy's stone will be September 18th, 2005 if anyone wants to go, please just email me for details at LadySunshin3@gmail.com

I still read it.
I remember that day as well. I remember you calling me to go keep your father company because he was home alone. I remember sitting in the kitchen with him until you got there and we all just had a quiet emotional moment.
This may sound strange at first read, but I am glad I was able to be there... from that first day until the end. I am blessed to have known her for as long as I did and I am blessed to have had you there for me as well when my dad passed.
I'm glad you are able to smile now. I know your pain is still with you, but it has changed some and will continue to do so. God bless Cindy... and God bless you.
I still pop on here too...
As you know I thought of your entire family on the 19th, not just with regard to Cindy, but also to the other things that are going on right now.
Life throws us some curve-balls occasionally. But we have to be strong, and use what happens as an opportunity to reflect on those events and learn from them.
I know your sister is up there somewhere watching over you, and even though things are still a little bumpy, that smooth bump-free road will soon open up before you.
Love and hugs to all.
Dave
