Thanks to all of you for your thoughtful insights and loving
support. I saw a therapist today for 1.5 hours and had
a great session with him. Talking about Susan was very
cathartic and balancing. I also had learned 2 wks before
her death that my long-distance boyfriend of 5 years was married so I've suffered a great deal of loss lately. I feel
much better now and look forward to going back home to Houston for the Holidays and starting to heal with Susan's 18yr old daughter and Susan's husband, along with the rest of our family members. Our family had been torn apart by Susan so we have much work to do. I will think of Susan every day of the rest of my life and will miss the little
sister who kissed frogs and whose hand I held until she could sleep. The bad memories will fade with time I trust.
Thanks again for all your kindnesses.
Annie
