Ken, what a sweet tribute, it really touched my heart. I always wondered what it would be like to have a big brother and now I know. I'm sorry you lost her so soon, I have a feeling she would get a kick out of this. XO.

I would hope so.

It was a little hard to write because at times that although true, It felt like I might have been a little too hard on her. We had our issues at times - all siblings do. It’s a fact of life. But the fact is after every single phone call, she ended it with “love you”. I had to return the favor 😢.

I imagine it was a tough one for you. Did Cindy know you were a writer or did that come about after? You may have been tough, but your heart is always in the right place. I don't know you well, but I know that.

Thanks. The writing came in the last year when I left the railroad. Something therapeutic as well as staying occupied.
