May 30, 2021
I just realized this is Memorial day weekend making next week early June. June is when Gladys and I have, for most of our adult lives, exchanged birthday cards because both of our birthdays were in June. Her birthday was June 7th. so as soon as the 1st. of June rolled around I would start planning what day I would have to go and buy a birthday card to be able to get it in the mail in time so it would get to her before or on her birthday! Since my birthday was later in the month I would always be expecting her birthday card to get to me a day or two early. This has gone on for most of the years since I moved to Texas in 1959. I just started realizing that this will be the first time in close to 60 years that we won't be exchanging birthday cards. That little part of her makes me understand how much I miss her already! She was a very caring sister and was always trying to help me, just as she did for everyone of her friends and relatives. She didn't deserve to die the way she did from ALS! No one does. It is a horrible disease! I was relieved when she passed away because she suffered way too long after being the kind person that she was all of her life! I love you Sis!
