Comments on: For My Little Sister, Sharon http://www.andifyoudidknow.com/2005/10/22/for-my-little-sister-sharon/ In Memory of Sharon Michele McAvoy Nichols .:. December 24, 1949 - October 10, 2005 Mon, 14 Nov 2005 16:39:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Administrator http://www.andifyoudidknow.com/2005/10/22/for-my-little-sister-sharon/comment-page-1/#comment-2 Administrator Mon, 14 Nov 2005 16:39:41 +0000 http://markhnichols.com/aiydk/?p=56#comment-2 I can no longer hold my tongue regarding this posting. Michele had a vastly different recollection of her childhood, and her relationship with her brother was virtually non-existent. Several times in the months between her mother's death and her own she talked not only of being an orphan but of not having any family left due to the utter lack of meaningful relationship with her sibling. I know that Michele would counsel me against building karma by saying these things here for the world to see, but I cannot continue to ignore my feelings in this matter. I am terribly sorry for the loss her death has visited upon everyone who knew her, and while I know the substance of my own grief I cannot know the form other's grief will take. If it helps some to gloss over the truth as Michele saw it, and as I knew it, so be it. However, this site is a remembrance of Michele and all she stood for. She would not have allowed half-truths to go without challenge, and so I won't either. Truth is truth, and the people who truly knew her and had her confidence will know what is real and what is the emperor's clothes. I can no longer hold my tongue regarding this posting.
