Awwwwwwwwwwwww. I'm sending you a huge (((hug))) She's at a different continuum in life, isn't she? I wonder about how long I have at this one, and the next one, and the next. I'm so glad you could find bits to bond over. That's nice that you both can still find humor in the situation.
Some people might find you morbid, but I don't;)
My mother and I did a *lot* of laughing when she was dying of cancer. A lot. We also cried, but mostly separately. But when we were together we remained our sarcastic, quipping selves. Seven years later, 99% of what I remember of that time is the laughter. It took me a couple of years to get to that point, but I did.
((hugs)) again.
Might I suggest something? Visit your sister and record some conversations with her or ask her to tell you some stories and record them. You'll enjoy being able to listen to her voice years later. I have a recording of me talking with my grandfather when I was 3 or 4 years old. He got me to tell him a whole long story and recorded it. He gave it to me when I graduated from high school. I love it because he's gone, but I can still hear his voice and listen to him laugh.
