Life

Life has a way of balancing itself out....I firmly believe that there are bigger plans in place than mine. I also believe that my family was given to me for certain reasons. Growing up, my sister and I have not always gotten along, BUT we've always depended on each other. When I lost my mother, I turned to my sister to fill that roll. I know that she was given to me because of our mom. I can't think of another reason why. My mom taught us a lot, but one of the things that sticks out and is with me every day is loving my sister! She is the most amazing woman! She possess a strength and courage that I can only hope to share. She is incredibly intelligent and giving. She is gentle and caring. Heather is simply incredible! And she is MY sister and best friend.

I did not realize just how much I missed her until she came to visit this past weekend. She took time out of her schedule to make time for me. She flew in and came straight to work with me. She held Wesley all day while I held parent conferences. We spent the rest of the weekend just being together. She made each one of my children feel loved and special. Annie loves to play with her and Brenden looks up to her as "the doctor". He believes that she can heal all! We had an amazing time and dropping her off at the airport wasn't so bad. It was when I got into the car to drive home that I realized how lonely I was without her. Making matters worse, Wesley smelled like her! She laughs at my stupid jokes, is patient when I'm crazy, and makes me smile when I'd really like to cry. Heather and I finish each others sentences or say the same thing at the same time. Why? Because we think the same! This visit made me really realize how much I miss being able to see her every day! Thanks for coming Roo!!
