 My dear sister, and best friend, Nora, passed away after a long suffering battle with cancer. These are flowers from her funeral. I entered an image of her in the “something I learned” challenge taken two weeks before her passing.; the illness and the treatment were not kind to her. I could always count on her praise of any photo I showed her whether it was worthy or not; she was my biggest fan. She was such a beautiful, kind soul and was definitely an angel among us. I miss her sorely.

I've just read what you wrote about your sister .. I'm so sorry for your loss ..
i can't imagine how you would have felt .. during her battle and her death ..
and thinking about it now writing this I hope I don't bring you fresh grief ..
she sounds like she was a beautiful soul on earth ..

I'm not sure of your spiritual beliefs .. but I have read a lot about near death experiences and watched many videos from people who have died and come back ..
so many ppl have had this experience and so many are now being reported ..
hearing about the incredible peace and love they talk about during their NDE can take away any fear we may have of death .. it can also help us feel confident that those we love are in a wonderful place ... :)
