I can't believe it's been 5 years since Terry passed. Time does pass quickly but it seems like yesterday that we would talk on the phone about Red Sox scores and Tom Brady when he was a Patriot. Her orbit was small but intense. I love her still.

I can't believe its been a year already. I miss my sister, Terry's call to my office where she could complain about living in the assisted living and praise the Red Sox in the same call. I loved her with all my heart.

Terry was my sister and I loved her dearly. She was not the kind of person you could confide in or get too close to. She lived in her own world. But I know she loved me the best she could and I will miss her very much. She loved to talk about sports. Especially the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. I will miss our phone calls and the sound of her voice.
