Hello Blog
I needed to write something because I can't keep this all in. My name is not important I really just want to get advice on some life issues that are effecting my family. I have a loving family that is really close and sometimes crazy but i wouldn't have it any other way. My mom owns her own business and is basically the glue that holds us all together. She knows how to get the truth out of you and somehow she can make every situation better. My father works for my mom but don't let that fool you. He picks on us and makes us laugh even when we are sad. I am the youngest of three sisters but more than that we are best friends. I know it sounds unreal but we are truly close. My parents are the best and I can't imagine not having them in my life. However, this story, this journey is about my sisters, so let me introduce them.
My oldest sister lost a child about seven years ago because he was born premature. In his remembrance the entire family walks every year in the March of Dimes in our hometown. My mom makes t-shirts in his memory and every year she wins the best t-shirt award. It is priceless to see the smile on her face when she accepts her award. We raise money and release balloons just as the walk begins. It's hard watching my sister year after year having to relive the fourteen days she spent with her baby. A few after she lost her first child, she was blessed with a health baby boy who brightens all our lives. He is my first nephew and the first great grandson of the family, so he has a special place. My sister continued her life working hard and raising her family. She is a very successful business woman who works hard and puts her heart into every situation she is faced with. We are alike in a lot of ways but the one thing that is different about us is that she is very athletic. When I was the horseback rider and cheerleader, she was the softball and football player. She is always on the go, it's like she can't sit still for long. Just when things seemed to like a fairytale for her a tragic accident changed that forever. She lost her husband last August in a wreck on the same day as her anniversary. Because this was very recent it is very hard to talk about. We never imagined that something like this would happen. It's amazing really to see how life can change in an instant and to see that life is so fragile. This is something we are going to be struggling with for a while and he will be forever missed. "Always loved, never forgotten" as the family puts it. In this journey, hopefully through this blog, I hope to find not only myself but to find a way to comfort my sister.
My second oldest sister is what I would like call picture perfect. She is all about fashion and style. She can make anyone look good. She loves to read and google things, which find very funny. She has had some tough times as well but she always find a way to push through it. A couple of years ago she married a great man, who consider my big brother, and recently moved just a few miles away from my house. It's nice to be able to just drive up the street and spend the day with her. I have been spending a lot of more time with her recently because her knees have both been hurt and it is difficult for to even move around. I don't mind, I love going over there and having girl time. Another reason I am starting this blog is to help her in her journey of becoming a mother. She has been trying to have a child for about two years now and it is beginning to bring her sadness because she thinks she will never be able to. I am searching for a way to provide that and support her as well. If there is one thing I'm certain about it's that we will find answers, with God's help, we find comfort, new life and hopefully I will find myself and who I am in the process. We are more than family we are Friends and Sisters 2.
