Sisters are Special




Do you have sisters? Are they as special as mine are?  I am sure they are.  I find great comfort knowing my sisters are there for me.  I am the youngest.  In good and bad times, my sisters are always there to support me.  Last month my sisters Danielle and Rose flew to Malibu, California to attend my daughter’s college graduation from Pepperdine University.

The past two weeks have been very difficult as my youngest have been very sick.  Again, my sisters came to my support.  As I sit here in my son’s hospital room, I got inspired to write this post to share my thoughts on how thankful I am to have such great sisters. 

Yesterday my sister Rose brought me my favorite meal for lunch.  It gets very boring eating the same cafeteria food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I usually arrive at hospital by 6AM and leave by 8PM, so I do not have time to cook or even go to the store.  I want to spend as much time with my son as possible.

My sister Danielle lives in Long Island, New York.  She calls every day to give moral support and well wishes.

Feel free to share your sister story by leaving a comment. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

  1. I am an only child, but I have good friends and cousins who are like sisters to me. There's something about the strength of womanhood! ;)

  2. I only have a brother. We teased each other all through our childhood, so it wasn't like a sister relationship. I envy your relationship with your sisters. Prayers for your son. I hope he gets well soon.

  9. I love this post! My Sister is my best friend. I have a little girl and I told my husband recently how we had to try to have one more child some day in hopes that we would have another girl so she would have a Sister and know how wonderful it is.

    Following you back from the Mingle Blog Hop. Thank you for stopping by my blog and following me!

  10. I don't know how I missed this. I thought I had read all of your posts. My Sister is MY BEST FRIEND too!! She and I do so much together even though we live miles apart. We have so much in common (except for age...she is almost 6 years younger than me).
    Love your blog!
