Pam,
Great news about DB's sister. Very possible DB was a good influence for her to go forward and do the same. He should be very proud of himself. I'll bet she does feel close to you; especially since she knows you have been there for her brother and while you can't carry her; it's good she knows you are there should she need to talk, especially to someone who completely understands.

I'm sure you are completely drained. Hope you get some well needed sleep tonight.

Gerry
