Sisters

I love my sisters so much!
Some of you may know, my sister who is 2 years older than I, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had her FIRST mammogram February 5th, her 2nd mammogram February 9th, biopsied Febuary 11th and diagnosed Febuary 12. Her Mastectomy February 26th.

And through all this,and many Priesthood blessings, prayers, Ward fastings and prayers were heard. She is doing remarkably well and we her family, friends are very hopeful. She feels at peace, and so do I. I believe we are all being comforted. You know it's funny she and I don't always see eye to eye, but as soon as this happened, and if there was anything amiss, it all went out the window and that's because she is MY sister and I love her so much.
My younger sister, Rhonda and I spent the weekend with her after her surgery, Rhonda cooked, I cleaned, it's the best combination. We talked and talked till after 2 am one night. I felt so thankful inside, because I knew if it was the other way around they would be there for me. Sunday was especially sweet, when her husband, my brother-in-law came during church with his Home teaching companion and served us the sacrament. As he blessed the bread, my sweet brother-in-law stopped briefly, over-come with emotion as we all did. I think we all felt so much gratitude for the Priesthood and the blessing that my sister was doing so well and with hardly any pain or discomfort from her surgery. It just makes me feel so appreciative of what we have.
