We are not related, but you are always there To lend me support, I’m so lucky that you care When my husband had surgery and was so very ill Your friendship was amazing and you are here for me still My family in particular gave me so little support You stepped in with shopping and little gifts that you brought I have found a true angel and her name is Chris If I could chose a relation then I'd have you for my sis We can’t choose our family but we can choose our friends I hope our friendship lasts forever until our life ends Contest:- When older or younger siblings step in Sponsor:- Eve Roper 12~ 28~15

My congratulations on your win, Jan! Family should be a bond of love and I am sorry you didn't get it from them. At least, you have found a true friend and you should be happy. We didn't get snow at all. I hope you stay inside and keep warm. Thank you for your kind comment today. Have a lovely evening. Hugs, Andrew.

We have had a flurry of snow and hail but thankfully nothing sticking... so far and long may it stay like that. If I could choose a sister I know who I would choose:-) hugs Jan xx

Very touching, Jan. I echo your sentiment. This happened to me too. Friends came over with home cooked food and everything when mom died as we were too busy. The last couplet captured the essence of this write. We treasure people like them. A win, for sure. hugs!

Chris has done more to support me than my whole family put together in fact it wasn't until after dad's death did I tell mum about Bob's cancer and that was only because I talked about it on my radio interview about my journey into poetry:-) hugs Jan xx
