My sister died the year she would have been 19.

We were living in Michigan at the time, she in Alabama. We had to go right back to Michigan with no time to spend with my family afterward. I stated getting depressed and I couldn't seem to get over her death. She died in August. By January of the following year it was all i could to get out of bed. I stayed dressed in my nightgown all day and cried. I woke up crying, I went to bed crying. I thought i might be having a nervous breakdown. My husband kept telling me to get over it. 

Anyway early one morning after he had left for work I tried to go back to sleep. I felt someone under the cover as I tried to wiggle around to get comfortable. Then i heard someone say get off me. My sister came from under the quilt and I was so happy to see her. I kept saying "it's you it really is you, I can actually touch you." Then she snuggled up with her head right beside me on my pillow. She said "Yes it's really me and I need to talk to you about some things. I can't remember any thing else that she said after that but we did talk. 

So anyway when I woke up I was fine. I felt like it was ok that she was gone. The depression left and I was able to get on with my life. I wish I did know what we talked about but it doesn't matter. What I will always be grateful for is that my baby sister came when i needed her most. 

Thanks kiddo. I'll always love you.
