I found out earlier today that we lost a member of our family. My cousin Sandy was found dead in her apartment in Midwest City, OK. She left behind a 7 year old son and a 16 year old daughter. Sandy was recently divorced and has had problems with prescription medication over the last 5 years or so. Recently out of re-hab (again) we thought she was on the right track. We don't know if she took her own life, accidentally overdosed or if her frail body just couldn't recover from the damage she had done to it.
I am having a great deal of trouble with this. She was 44.....only 4 1/2 years older than me. We were like sisters. She was the one that taught me about hair, makeup, clothes......and boys. There were 6 of us cousins in about a 10 year range that are very close! We are all more like brothers and sisters instead of cousins. The rest of us kind of gave up trying to help her. I am heart broken that she basically died alone. The only solice I have is that deep down, I'm sure she always knew how much she was loved.
You might remember that we lost another cousin last July. I am saddened by the fact that I haven't seen any extended family since then. And, now....
This picture was taken last Christmas.
