December 27, 2013 RIP Beloved TwinA Poem by Barbara WalkerMy twin sister passed away December 27,2013. She was a class act.
And now,
nothing... days, nights and hours, talking, laughing, until you could not speak or laugh and then, for hours, I held your hand. As your breathes softened, I willed you to breath with my touch, until it felt like my touch was the only reason for your breath. And then, that slight little tick of each breath, that was torture to hear and I begged, if there is a God, please, give her peace. I, so hope you are at peace. For me, now, nothing...
