Lisa Canonaco

I miss my sweet, crazy, goofy, loving sister. But especially today. Today is Lisa's birthday. She would have turned 54 today. Sometimes it feels like I haven't seen her in 54 years; other times, it feels like 54 days and I can see her right on front of me. I have worked through all of the expected stages of grief more times than I can remember. The only stage I am perpetually stuck in is bargaining.
