Singing with my Sister

Sometimes you just know she is there…

Driving home from Virginia Beach, ABBA CD blasting.. It’s a beautiful spring day.. perfect for driving and singing ABBA songs.

Chiquaitita comes on… and I start singing the harmony. Kerrie would always sing the melody of any song and I would sing harmony as her back up 🙂

Start singing the second line of the song and the hair on my arms stands up, goosebumps everywhere and that tinglining feeling on the back of my neck.

I can feel her there. She’s sitting in the seat next to me. The feeling is so strong I have no doubts.

I reach over to the empty seat and hold her hand. I feel it.. I feel her hand in mine and in my head and in my heart I hear her say “Sing”.

So I did.. at the top of my lungs. Kerrie sitting next to me, singing melody.

I never really liked that song, but it now it’s the most beautiful song in the world. Me and my beautiful sister, belting it out together.. I could feel her holding my hand the entire time.

And when the song ended, I could feel the release of my hand and she was gone.

I started to cry, begging her not to go and telling her how much I love her and miss her.

The car felt so empty after that.. and even writing about it now brings tears to my eyes, but.. For a brief few minutes, on a hot, sunny day in Virginia… I got to sing with my sister again.

I love you Ker-Bear.
