I take too much for granted in this life I have. Things that seem insurmountable to me would be a daydream for someone else to have. I'm emotional at the moment dwelling on my sister, whom I admire profusely down to the very acidity of her struggles.
She shrugged off my admission of admiration, and I can't take offense because I know why. Believing in something makes a person vulnerable. That's what my sister is, vulnerable.. and I can't stand the fact I am powerless to ease her hurts. God how I want to.
One thing I can do is put these words out there. I admire my sister because:
1. She happens to be an amazing mother.
2. She is thrifty.
3. She is brave.
4. She has dreams.
5. She improvises.
6. She sings.
7. She gives.
8. She loves.
9. She cries.
10. Her children are her heart.
11. She loves her family.
12. She has grown up.
13. She tries hard.
14. She doesn't give up.
15. She is funny.
16. She is proud.
I could go on and on but I'm so glad enough time has gone by that we have become close friends. I can't imagine not knowing her or needing her, because she is always there.
