I did not think I would be able to write anything about this still incomprehensible loss. But reading all the tributes and posts and talking to the variety of people who have loved and been impacted by my sister has made me want to share a few thoughts. My didi and I were always opposites - she was the bubbly, outgoing extrovert while I was the sometimes grouchy and mostly introverted part of the pair. But, as most of you have said, it's hard to be this way for long around her. I remember whining and complaining when she would drag me out with her - whether it was to shop, to do errands or to party - but eventually we would find our rhythm and would be laughing at some new inside joke that was created by the end of the day. My family jokes that I was always her biggest fan - I would find it hard to say no to her. But the reality is that she was always my biggest protector and cheerleader. She was the best person to tell my successes and losses to - she knew how to celebrate and cheer up. She never let me or herself be down for too long. And as painful as it is that I'll never hear her opinion or advice again, I know I still have the fiercest protector.
