Tell me

lola28

I read Ladylees thread about her sister and realized how short life is, sometimes you loose track of time and don't even realize it. We are all so busy with a million things and sometimes we forget to tell our brothers and sisters how we feel about them so I will take the time to tell them tonight how much I love them. The following is a list of some of the things I love about my sisters.

1. I love that they run to hug me when I walk in at night.

2. I love that M. watches basketball with me even though I don't think she really likes it.

3.I love that T will always come into my room to ask me if I want something to eat or drink.

I love that they teach me so much about music, I love how funny and smart they are.I love knowing that I could loose everything and everyone in my life and those two would still be there. I love how happy they are and how happy they make me. I love that they are my sisters and that nothing could ever tear us apart.

So tell me what do you like about you brothers or sisters?

Lady Lee's sad story really got to me. Such a sad, sad situation. Her sweet sister was taken away from her much too long ago, taken by the drugs that she learned to take to cope with hurt no child should ever, ever have to endure; now she has to deal with the final reality, she'll never have her sister again.

Yes, Life is Short. Just last week I found out my 'big' sister, whose handwriting I so admired that I tried to copy it over and over as a teenager....has pancreatic cancer. There are 3 of us, I am the middle sister. And I am the one they both come to, I have the broad shoulders to carry their burdens. At least I have had until now. We lost our only brother suddenly 5 yrs ago, and I organized our FIRST Sistas 4-ever Gathering last summer at this "big" sister's house in Idaho. We had a ball...went to a concert, hiked in the mountains, kayaked on the river...had a pj party,etc. God truly had that in His plan, as we had NO inkling any of us was sick. Now, just 2 short months later, she is planning how to fight this terminal disease.

Anyway, I am rambling but thank you for the opportunity to write about my sisters. They bring joy, laughter, tears into my life and at this moment I don't know how I'll live without my big sis. We have not been fortunate to live close to each other, but as we matured we all realized, esp after our brother died, that life in this world is not forever. I am glad we all have strong faith to get us through, and we all know we will be together again, God willing. I just hope I can see her one more time.

i love that my little sister is just so sweet... shes a genius, she always has time to ask me silly little things, i love how she looks up to me, even though my parents talk badly about me, i love how she used to come give me a hug when i was sitting in my room crying, i love how she was the only one willing to tall my dad to get away from me while he was hitting me, i love how she called the cops on him that one night, i love HER...

I was so surprised to open this and see some of your posts about my sister and that it has encouraged some of you to think and talk about your sisters.

This coming Saturday evening my two daughters and I will talk about Robin and what her life and death means to us.

I am at my daughter's this week and I have been watching my grand-daughter be a big sister to her little brother (10 years apart) and baby sister (11 years apart).

My grand children know who their family is. My oldest grand-daughter plays with and cares for her little brother. He is so attached to her. When she left for school yesterday he wandered back and forth from the front door to her bedroom door looking for her for about 1 1/2 hours. But he sure knew when to expect her home too and started watching the door and waiting for her. What a wonderful gift to watch these two and the wonderful relationship they have. And I know this will continue as the baby grows and becomes more active. They will form a bond so strong - the way it is supposed to be.

I have watched my daughters grow from the time they were little. A big sister always ready to defend her little sister. And the younger always wanting to be in her sister's shadow. And yes they fought like all family does but the bond is there and is strong and each knows the other will be there if and when needed.

Somehow, some way, I was able to do even a tiny bit of something that I never got from my family. My daughters know who their family is. They know what it means to be connected. I am so glad they are both out of the JWs, were never baptized, and don't have to suffer the pains of shunning. So often I feel like I failed them and made mistakes (like all parents I suppose). But watching these children and the bonds they have made lets me know I did do some things OK

Call a relative. Send a note. Let them know you care. Even if they cannot acknowledge you, at least you will know you said you care

Hiya LadyLee & Lola,

I'm really sorry to hear about the loss of your sister Ladylee:( I think though that getting together with your daughters to talk about the beauty of her life is a really special thing to do.

The last time I spoke in a loving way with my eldest sister was this time 4years ago, much the same for my 3 other sisters. I've learnt to accept that I just don't really know my female family members anymore.

I've a few girl cousins who are like sisters to me, and their love & support of me is a most beautiful thing:)

luv sis frog x
