Update on My Sister

I just got home from Florida were my sister lives. She died in my arms last Thursday. I stayed to help my nieces out with the estate. My brother from Texas was with my sister the week end prior to my arriving so we were all able to spend time with her. She knew I was with her. My mind knew it was time but, my heart is stingy!

Barbara i know that is so hard to understand the whys sometime but at least you got to be with her and comfort her and let her know that it was ok for her to go. Eventually you will see what a great gift you recieved to be able to be there for her. Love and hugs to you and all your family while you grieve of her passing sometime in the future the grief will turn to memories so you will always have her with you. God bless you and much love from all of us.

Thank you Jan. I do appreciate all the support and prayers. I do appreciate the time with my sister and being there at that special time. I was so afraid I wasn't going to get there in time. She held on and spoke with me. I am so grateful.

Barbara I pray the Lord will hold you in His arms during your time  of grieving, It's hard to lose a brother or a sister,  Just know that  God will hold you up when you cannot stand on your own. God Bless Brenda

Thank you so much Brenda for the kind works and prayers. I will hold them close to my heart.

Barbara, I can't even imagine what you went and are going thru but we do know One that knows every feeling we have ever had and ever will have!  One that is aquiainted with our grief.  You are safe in the arms of an all knowing Lord!  My prayers are with you... Jan's words to you were so wise and true I pray you are able take comfort in them. Bec

Thank you Bec for the payers. I will hold all kind thoughts close to my heart and they do help with the healing. It is such a nice feeling to have friends who care enough to repond.

I can't imagine what you're going through right now.  I started crying as soon as I read it and called my sister to tell her that I love her.  You never know how much time you have with a person and it's best to show them love at every chance you get.  I'm sorry for your loss, truley.  I know how important sisters are!  May you be granted peace and healing.

Thank you Christine. You are so right! Call and tell your sisters and brothers, parents whomever you love today, don't wait! Time is so precious!!!!
