What a special honor. I have a ring of my sister's (she passed away unexpectedly 08/15) that I wear every day. I love it and think of her often. I hope to get a few items of clothing when I go down to visit her husband and daughters this spring. I think things like that give us good memories and make us feel closer to those who have died. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedges-from-my-sisters-closet#post-1780344 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 13:37:20 +0000 Bijou 1780344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sure that you sister would love that these new shoes found a home with you and that you can get the enjoyment from them. Walking in your sister's shoes...it takes on a new and special meaning in this case. Honouring her through the 5km walk is a great idea.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedges-from-my-sisters-closet#post-1780317 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 11:03:03 +0000 lyn67 1780317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So very very &nbsp;sorry for the loss of your sister....I have an 11 yrs older Bro, and I was literally frightened to death when he had an accident in December and &nbsp;still recovering...:-() so your loss is one of the worse, unfortunatelly. But &nbsp;think walking in her shoes (and running a 5K in her honour!) will be a very special blessing....My sincere condoleances, hope to cope somehow with...&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: Bros-God bless them forever:-)- are another kind of animal... I personally &nbsp;think we cannot expect them to sort through a sister's(mother's wardrobe). Mine didn't do either... But once that done they may help with sorting throughout/moving out and listing the house, other administrations or &nbsp;so...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedges-from-my-sisters-closet#post-1780306 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 09:03:03 +0000 Sisi 1780306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it will be therapeutic for you&nbsp;to&nbsp;wear something that has belonged to&nbsp;your sister. I definitely can see how alike you were! Those shoes are beautiful and they look so much "you".&nbsp;I am sorry that your brothers are not helping, but your daughter is there, and this is a blessing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedges-from-my-sisters-closet#post-1780302 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 07:48:26 +0000 Lynette 1780302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry for the loss of your sister. I think walking (and running!) in her shoes will be a very special blessing. That third pair of sandals is amazing! Your sister must have been a fun person to choose those. I know you will enjoy them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedges-from-my-sisters-closet#post-1780293 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 04:45:58 +0000 rachylou 1780293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that's interesting - different styles within a common framework. That's cool. And a very nice, special thing to wear her shoes for your race. Like a blessing.</p> <p>Brothers are odd creatures. And the mix of siblings, male and female, no doubt influences how things divide up. My dad was from a family of all boys, and his brothers were so helpful when my dad passed away. My mother was the only girl in a passel of boys, and her brothers weren't there for her like my dad's brothers. But then again - my dad's brothers cleared the gutters, changed the furnace filters, etc. My mum's brothers, don't know that they do that stuff in their own homes. They're not physical like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedges-from-my-sisters-closet#post-1780285 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 03:19:27 +0000 cindysmith 1780285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry you're dealing with this loss without the support of your brother's, but I am glad you found a memento that you can wear and enjoy, and I think it's awesome that you're taking on a 5k in her honor </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedges-from-my-sisters-closet#post-1780270 Tue, 21 Feb 2017 01:15:27 +0000 shedev 1780270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry that your brothers aren't more helpful. My whole family came together to clear out my mothers house after she passed. It is such a bittersweet process to go through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedges-from-my-sisters-closet#post-1780260 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 23:57:42 +0000 Lucy 1780260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How special to find these lovely similarities. I can certainly see echoes of your style in hers, the boho influence in particular, and the love of color in the last pair.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedges-from-my-sisters-closet#post-1780259 Mon, 20 Feb 2017 23:39:39 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1780259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I went through my sister's clothing and shoes to clear out her condo to put it up for sale, I am having both amazing moments of realizing how alike we really were as well as tears that she is indeed not there. . &nbsp;We had some many things that were opposite, I just wish she was here to laugh with me as I point out the similarities and then the things that were classically only Kelley. &nbsp;Part of me is frustrated that my brother's haven;t lifted a finger to help with this process, but another part finds it a great privilege to share this process with DD 25. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>My sister &nbsp;had 3 pairs of brand new Summer Wedges and I had to laugh as that meant she bought them on clearance at the end of the Season as she passed away in November. &nbsp;</p> <p>So , I added these 3 Wedges into my wardrobe.&nbsp;<br />Whtie by Springstep&nbsp;<br />Black - Clark's (her favorite shoe company after foot surgery)&nbsp;<br />Teal - Springstep - I have been wanting a pair of these artsy ones for a long time but every time I saw them they were more that I wanted to spend on a Summer Shoe. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>So if Espadrille Wedges are my signature, these slide in versions were hers, lol&nbsp;</p> <p>there is something special about the idea of walking in my sister's shoes. In fact in September I am going to wear her Asics tennis shoes to walk my first ever 5K because she did several &nbsp;marathon's a year. &nbsp;Her favorite one was a costume 10k one in October so hope to find someone to join me, may even post on her Facebook to see if her friends will join me. &nbsp;I lost 5lbs my first week on Weight Watcher's Simply Filling and will be ready for this Fall.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you got through all this , thank you, a type of therapy for me...&nbsp; </p>
