My sister would have been 58 years old today.

She died May 22, 2014.

We didn’t always get along, and you certainly couldn’t describe our relationship as close.

Yet I feel a huge hole in my heart.

She was my baby sister.

She told me I abandoned her when I left home at age 16 (I was afraid of our father’s anger; and I made him angry).

Sad.

She’s about 5 in this picture taken at Echo Park in Los Angeles, CA around 1962.
