Every day after school we would run home to watch American Bandstand on T.V.  She would teach me how to dance and do my hair.  Micky, Teddie and I would talk in  conference calls and laugh hysterically at our memories. We could be ourselves without any judgement and share our deepest feelings. When we lived in Lincolnwood we shared a hugh bedroom that was the length of our house. It was cool. On Saturday night we'd watch Marvin on Shock Theatre. Got scared out of our minds. By today's standards the scary movies were mild. But, thats all we knew at the time and we were scared. I remember going to the show and seeing "THEM" about huge ants. It was raining outside and the thunder sounded like the ants were coming. We had great gatherings with cousins and had the greatest times. I think of those times  often, especially now. She will never leave me. I will keep her memory alive and talk to her everyday because she was interested. I will forever hear, "Hi, sissy dear.' How you doing? She listened when I broke up with a boyfriend, helping me look into the future. She was my strength and she will remain so because she's still here with me. Always. I love you, Sissy Dear.
