Today is my little sis’ 28th birthday. She died of cancer 10 years ago in May. For some reason, this birthday has been a really hard one for me. So I wanted to share some Koryn things. (Hopefully the 3 of you who still read my blog don’t mind.)
Koryn really loved this bit! She taped it on her “happy tape.” I really love that she had a happy tape.
She also loved this commercial. But especially at the time she was diagnosed. We reenacted this many times, giggling uncontrollably as we chorused “It’s really big. I’m serious.” in her hospital room. I think everybody thought we had lost it (at least a little). We just needed the humor to cope. You know me. I laugh. a lot. She does too.
This song is just mine and it perfectly encapsulates my feelings about loosing her and the feel of that time. My Mom used to call us Mutt and Jeff; I didn’t know who they were, but that is pretty good label for us. …two peas in a giggly, cheesy, happy pod. I miss you Koryn and olive you a lot.
Happy Birthday Koryn!!
My parent’s computer won’t allow me to watch/listen to what you posted, so I’ll have to come back to see them! She was so blessed to have you as her sister. And if you will allow me to jump aboard the cheesy train of love, you’re lucky to have her as your angel.
I love this post, Keersten. I get a great sense of her spirit.
It such a great thing to have so many wonderful memories. Even though it has pain linked with it, through the trials there was joy, and that is such a neat thing to see. I am glad that you are able to remember so strongly the happiness you share with your sister.
It’s a good thing that you still share your love and joy of your sister. I hope my children will always have this with their brother too. I know of the pain that comes with the loss of someone to cancer and my heart goes out to you. Happy Birthday to your lovely sister!
Happy Birthday Koryn,
We love you and miss your sweet spirit here on earth.
So sorry Keers!
I know how much you love her and she must have been as special as you are to still be able to make all of us still laugh and cry.
You made a beautiful tribute today and I wish you all the peace that can be.
Love you so!
I’m sorry this birthday has been so hard for you. The pain never really goes away, does it? I love that DCforC song. I can see why it would bring back feelings surrounding Koryn’s death. She really was a light, wasn’t she? Thinking of you and your family!

Love you Keers!
I’m so sorry for your loss! She sounds like such an amazing sister. Happy Birthday Koryn. (Sorry I’m a little late).
That was such a great tribute to your sister. She sounds wonderful! So sorry that you had to lose her so young.
