Pierre is my cousin or as he used to say when we were growing up, I was his "sister" cousin. I became the sister he never had. As adults, we talked on the phone off and on over the years but never lived near each other. We talked about finally seeing each other again since we were now "old" people. When he called me and learned that I had lost my hearing (but could hear again because of a miraculous surgery)about 7 years ago, he said I better get there quick before we lose a bunch of other things. It hurt my heart that I didn't find out about his death for some time because even though we didn't communicate often, he was my heart and we still talked like the childhood "brother/sister" we always were whenever we talked with each other. Rest in peace my brother - I will carry you in my heart always.
