I Watch As She Grows Weaker

I watch as she grows weaker and it breaks my heart in two To see her in such pain I wonder just how long she will be with us until it is time for her to see our sweet sweet mom again. I know mom is anxiously waiting and I can almost see her smile as Carol once again embraces her as Carol walks that one last mile. I know that i will never again be happy once they have laid her in her grave but for now i, m trying for her sake to be beside her and like her be brave but each night my heart is breaking and there are so many tears that i, ll cry I don't want to tell my beautiful sister that final sad heartbreaking goodbye. Carol when you get to heaven and you see mom, s sweet face please give her a big kiss for me as im left in this lonely place I look forward to the time when we all will meet again never more to part i know you and mom will welcome us in i wrote this on may of 2005 that is when we lost our oldest sister Carol to a rare sarcoma cancer miss her everyday Debbie Lynne Sparrow
