Sisters

I have two little sisters. Both very beautiful and kind. I cannot believe how lucky I got to get these sweet girls in my life.

Monday my second to youngest sister goes in for head surgery. She was diagnosed with a tumor in between her skull and brain. It has not done damage to her brain and is most likely not cancerous, which we are ever grateful for, yet nonetheless a little scary. She will be getting her head shaved and will be recovering for quite some time. This is the first of 2 surgeries but the most difficult of the two.

I always knew my sister was brave, but through this trial she has shown me just how amazing she is. Not a day goes by that I do not wish I could magically make her tumor disappear , or take her place on that operating table, yet I know this is her trial to overcome, which she will do.

I ask for your prayers and well wishes during this time. My family and I appreciate them greatly.

In honor of my sister I wrote this poem. It may not rhyme or follow proper poem outlines but it came from my heart :)

My sister

My sister and I
We could be closer

But even though the years have taken us apart
Best friends we will always be
Never a day goes by that I don't think of my sister
I pray for and wish for her future
Happiness
Throughout the years there's been some fights

But also many longs talks full of laughs

About things only sisters can know
We played dress up and dolls

Pretended to be teachers and doctors
Barbies Dream-house was humble

But brought hours of little girls laughter
As the years went on we got older and still

Best friends we always were
We danced to our favorite 90's boy bands

And practiced our singing too
Then all too soon
We were grown up
Our separate ways we went
But through it all
I promise you sister
That I will always be there
No matter how far apart

Or how busy or poor
Nothing can keep me
From being your sister
