Death in the family

My sister Abby called me this evening to tell me that one of our cousins had died, the youngest daughter of my mother’s twin sister. She was the cousin who is closest to me in age, only three years older than I. I had planned to write about something else today — can’t remember what now. I had lost touch with this cousin over the past four or five years. I knew she had some serious health issues, but nothing that had been life-threatening. Her death came as a complete surprise; shocking that she died so suddenly.
