This last weekend my sister and I headed up to Northern Washington to visit some family and see our dad for the 4th of July. On the 5th, her and I headed up to the boarder to pick up a car and hang out for the day. Before we knew it the whole day had passed and about 11:30 pm we embarked on the 150 mile journey back to our dad's house. It was raining really hard, so I let her drive my truck and I followed her in my new car. Suddenly I could see the back end of the truck swing out sideways as it slipped on top of the water and then it rolled and slammed the top of the cab into a wall.
The doctors and paramedics figure she was gone before the truck even came to a stop, and that the impact killed her instantly. She was everything to me. Besides being my sister, she was my best friend. My biggest supporter, the one I could always count on. She was the one who always refused to leave me during my various stays in the hospital with my cancer. She was the wisest one around who always gave the best advice. She was my second half.
Natalie is my reason to live. I never thought I would be able to live without her, and it always pained me to imagine what life would be like if something happened to her. I never imagined it would be like this. I never thought it could hurt so bad. Be so lonely, depressing and sad. I never thought that I would walk through my house and see everything as a reminder of her. I couldn't have imagined that I wouldn't be able to close my eyes without seeing that moment replay over and over in my mind. I never thought I could miss anybody this much. I never thought I wouldn't get to say goodbye.
I miss my sister. I miss her love, her infectious smiles, and, her ability to make any situation better, but most of all I miss her laugh. She was always laughing and no matter how angry or upset you were, what kind of situation you were in, it was impossible to resist joining her.
I love you Natalie, Rest in Peace.
