Grow old with me

Sisters

Jackie gave me a magnet for my Fridge that reads:

‘Sister

A sister is someone very dear

Who Shares your hopes

And dreams.

She shows you even

A

Cloudy day is brighter than it seems.”

What more can I say . At Dad’s funeral I stood there and read Amy’s great Eulogy and wanted to say one thing more. I wanted to thank him for my sisters and brothers. There is no single thing more precious to me and enduring even after death than our love for one another. I realized I could not express it and a small voice resounded in my heart saying: stick to the script & live it. So I kept my mouth shut. I hope my sisters know how profoundly they have impacted my life.

We have had so many examples of sisters : Grandma & Aunti, Aunt Iva, Gramma Ruth Aunt Ra Ra and Aunt Helen. Not sure why mom& her sisters are not closer but what brothers she has! Robby just astounds me and I think of Paul as the quintessential Brother. Rene & Lisa! … It’s a blessing I hope endure for our children. I know I have nieces and nephews only but feel so blessed to have the feeling of parenting that I would have missed out on if my sisters were not as generous as they are.

Thank you God for my family. More to come but rushing out now so will end this here
