A Passing Thought

A Passing Thought

Had the news yesterday of the passing of my younger sister back in England. That leaves me as the last surviving child of my parents. Which was not something I expected. The eldest of us died several years ago and, as the middle sibling, it was reasonable for me to presume that I’d be next. Certainly, I never deserved to live longest, presuming that it’s a good thing to be alive.

Anyway, it leaves me feeling very alone today. And also aware of how selfish I am to dwell on my personal feelings on the matter, rather than mourning the passing of a sister.

Unless this is what they mean by “mourning.”
