The old saying, "You can choose your friends but not your family". My sister started going out with a complete dickhead years ago, suffice to say, I never speak to both of them. My brother a few months ago said if I heard the news about our sister, I said no. Apparently she has some kind of blood cancer. And when the inevitable happens, it will a funeral that I won't be going to.The last phone call with my sister ended with a terrible arguement.
I knew she was sick, but had no idea how advanced the cancer had gotten.
She died 3 weeks later.
I didn't get to say I'm sorry, I love you or goodbye.
You just can't get over it.
