I Wish You Were My Sister

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

Andrew Crisci Date: 1/15/2016 4:52:00 PM 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. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 1/15/2016 4:54:00 PM 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
