I am trying to find strength this time of year. Alot has happened in my life over the year and this month is the hardest. Alot of you here in the sims community don't know this cause I have never talked about it.
Tragically I lost my sister Amy last year, December 14, 2011. But not by accident but by the hand of another. This person that took my sisters life is unfortunately related to me by marriage.
Amy and I were very close, closer than my other siblings. We were always there for each other. She is the one I depended on for support and me the same for her.
Amy lost her 8 year old daughter Jackie back in 2000 due to exposure from being lost in the woods for 3 days. This was a very difficult time for Amy and our family but I was always there for her. She was my next door neighbor, and my best friend. She never married and never had anymore children which she wanted so desperately.
So she dedicated the rest of her life to her many many cats. I think the total was 22 and 4 dogs. She loved her animals and I think they were her joy in her life. Sometimes she would go without so they would not have to.
Every year we would spend our holidays together, she treated my kids as her own and loved them deeply. Sometimes when times were tough for my family she was always there. One time I was so cold and didn't have a sweater or coat she offered me hers because that's the type of person she was.
My best friend is gone, I think about her everyday, And I know she is happy now and with her daughter again. But I really do miss her and I wish she was still here. It's hard moving on when everything is still so fresh in my mind.
So it's time to be with family, hug and kiss my children, talk with my husband. Hold each other. Family can be my crutch this season and we can all be here for each other.
But I cannot leave out my sims community family either, you all are a big part of my life, I talk with alot of you on a daily basis and i know you are here for me as well. I am always here for you. Thank you. ♥
So many of you are concerned about me and curious as to what is going on with me. So I finally opened up. Many of you have sent me hugs so i'm sending them right back and saying, thank you. ♥
Okay, mushy stuff out of the way! Back to simming!!
If you are curious. This is what happened to Amy. It is graphic. http://www.nelsoncountylife.com/2012/06/19/shipman-guilty-plea-announced-by-ca-martin-in-december-2011-murder/
