... for my Beautiful, Wonderful, Giving, Loving, Fantastic Sister!

So this week has been tremendously difficult.  A good friend left suddenly last weekend to be with her father in India.  Of course, that is where she needs to be and my prayers go out for her father during his recovery.  In the meantime, we have been covering for her at work.  This is on top of the fact that another colleague quit last week and we have been short-staffed to get the work done.  Then, another colleague took a vacation for the last 3 days.  SOOOO, 6 of us have been covering the work that was normally a little too much for 9 of us to handle.  Needless to say I am drained. 

On top of that, I have had a lot going on at home and feeling inadequate.  But I suppose that is normal.  So tonight, when I was talking to my sister (see all the descriptors above), I mentioned that I was not looking forward to this weekend and my 20-year class reunion.  After the conversation was over, I got a very long text from her.  She was giving me digital support that only a sister can.  Made my evening, even on top of the wonderful night Hannah and I have had.

One of these days I will give you some reasons why my sis is beautiful, wonderful, giving, loving (ok, that should be pretty clear from the story you just read) and FANTASTIC!  But for now, just take a gander at some of these shots of her.

 Here she is getting some loving from her favorite neice.

 Playing at Santa Claus.  She wronte the return letter from Santa to Hannah.  She also ate the big guy's cookies. Hope he didn't care!

This is one of my favorite pictures of the two of them.  The look great together don't they?

And taking a good look at the camera.  Beautiful!

So, Today I am Thankful for My Beautiful, Wonderful, Giving, Loving, Fantastic Sister!
