My Sister……
Days and days we
wait for reports on why My Sister is not feeling good. Then the one day comes My
Sister calls me on the phone. She received the report from the Doctor. She said
it is Cancer. I said “Oh no.” and began to cry. My Sister said to me “Don‘t
cry.”
Months have now
gone by with My Sister getting ready for her 4th chemotherapy
treatment. She is the strongest woman I have ever met and so blessed she is My
Sister. I am so proud of my baby Sister. So many reasons I could not write them
all down. But to describe her to someone who does not know her. She is that
person who is your best friend. Everyone
knows all about a best friend. There is not one person who has ever NOT
experienced that special bond.
My Sister is
special. First off she is my baby sister so I have known her from the day she
was born. My Sister is precious, beautiful, thoughtful, caring, very smart, and
an amazing caregiver to all those around her.
Yes, this is a
difficult time for My Sister right now but never think for a moment she has let
up on the confidence in being healed. She has many things on her “to do” list
and plans to do them plus adding to that list.
So caregivers
beware when you think you are going to help My Sister because she will be right
next to you. Whether doing laundry, cleaning the floors, dusting or washing
windows. She is strong and is never going to listen to anyone who says no you
can not do that.
To My Sister, I
love you with all my heart. For you I will continue to do anything in the world
for you. Every day you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray for you to heal. God
already knows what he needs to do to make your life the best. So, yes, I am
counting on him to give My Sister a good and long life. Yes, I am selfish
because I need My Sister for my life.
So My Sister
says, “Don’t cry.” Listening to her, I will do as she says to be strong for her….My
Sister. Even though I share tears with her
and for her, My Sister knows I will be there for her always. Forever being
strong for My Sister.
I love you.
