Death Again

Debbie Lynn Swisher

Debbie Swisher was my half sister. Well until this year anyway. Debbie was a great person.
Debbie and I have the same should I dare say the truth, "sperm donor". We shared before either
of us ever married the same last name but different mothers. I will not say anything bad about
Janice Hunt, Debbie's mother, because for what I knew of her there is nothing bad to say. Sure, I could say that she is a bad person because my mother was married to "Dwight Swisher",( whom from now on, I will only refer to as "the sperm donor", because that's all he ever was or will be in my eyes) and Debbie is only 7 months younger than I and we were both full term babies., But was it her fault? I can't honestly say it was. They (My Mom and Janice) and I believe both ended divorced and probably for the same reason. BECAUSE "THE SPERM DONOR" is a worthless piece of crap.
Despite the way we came about, Debbie is my sister. I have always claimed her to be since I met
her and both of us found out, our connection. I can't say she felt the same way. At first, yes she did and we were ecstatic that we were sisters. Things changed later on though. I believe it was all when her mom Janice passed away. That devastating event changed Debbie forever. She loved her so much and was so young but Jasper, even younger.
Jasper is Debbie's brother and my half brother. I went to the funeral to be with them on this horrible day of their life and it was the last time I ever spoke to my sister.

Jasper and Debbie's mother, "Janice" had remarried. He was a very nice man. I attended that wedding. The last conversation I remember having with Debbie was that their step dad * Brace, (he is still living so I will not reveal his entire name) wanted to adopt Jasper. Debbie really didn't approve. Not that she didn't like him but because she felt it was taking away Jasper's last name and true identity. I did not feel the same way. I thought it would be great for Jasper, for he was so young and needed a "DAD", in his life not just a "SPERM DONOR", and Mr. Brace was good to Jasper and as far as I could tell Jasper was happy about it.

Well now here we are at 40. Debbie is now dead. She lost her battle with cancer. A battle I had know idea she was fighting. I would have fought with her. I looked for her many years and even met Jasper again a few years ago. He has a son and doing great. I guess Debbie didn't want me to contact her because Jasper had my info and she never did.
Debbie I want you to know I love you so much and you will always remain in my heart. I so wish we could have rekindled once was a close relationship. RIP
