Requiem

One year ago today my sister died in an automobile accident.

Last week, someone asked me what I say nowadays when people want to know how many sisters I have.

The answer is easy.

I have the same number of sisters I’ve always had: three.

Two still live in the State where I grew up.

One lives in my heart.
