Like many sisters, we had our ups and downs, our rivalries and resentments. For decades, we were there for each other, vying for attention, gossiping. We sent birthday gifts and celebrated holidays. We were mad at each other, and we laughed. We grew closer when our dad was dying, putting aside petty grievances and making tough decisions together. And again when our mom died. I always thought that was the most important thing: That in the worst of times, we would trust each other. Only the worst was yet to come.
