A Sister Just Like You

I just want to let you know
You mean the world to me
Only a heart as dear as yours
Would give so unselfishly

The many things you’ve done
All the times that you were there
Help me know deep inside
How much you really care

Even though I might not say
I appreciate all you do
Richly blessed is how I feel
Having a Sister just like you

 

I love you  Joan

Oh, I couldn't imagine going through what you are going through right now, Shauna. I haven't lost someone close to me for many many years and never through a long illness. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your sister and the rest of your family.

I LOVE YOU MY SISTER. can I just say again thank you to you all for your thoughts and prayers, and kind words of support  it means so much to us <3 <3

enjoy every moment u can...

for sure my Nephew rang to say that Joan and her Husband will be going to Perth Western Australia sometime soon and hopes that she will be able to travel the distance. as its a long flight from Tasmania to Western Australia its about 3 to 4 hour flight roughly .

An update, I know that reviving a thread is a no,no I  just didn't see the point in starting another one for the same thing, my sister Joan is not well again  after  a year  since being diagnosed with brain cancer then  this year sometime had a stroke, today I got news to say shes gone down hill again with very high blood pressure which I am told is through the roof and she has blood clots, not sure where they are  at this point in time...  all the same blood clots are dangerous, and it looks like their trip to Perth Western Australia is canceled due to the fact that she is not well enough  to fly and she wouldn't be fit enough to go anyway.  its just so hard not being there for her  at the moment as I have the flue myself and I wouldn't be able too afford to go there  even if I wanted too  the funds for us at the moment are a bit tight but we manage. Please can I ask  you all to keep us in your prayers and thoughts again thank you  everyone :&#39;(
