Sister

Sister

To you sister - I want to say - that I love
you, just as you are. I don't expect you to
change. You are alright just as you are.

I will not criticize you if you make mistakes.
I will only try to help you, if I can. If you
reach your goal in life. I will be happy for you.

If you you have problems, I can not solve them
for you, but together we might find a solution.
If we are walking together and you stumble - I
will give you my hand so you won't fall.

I can not live your life for you, we were each 
given a life of our own. All I can do, is be there 
if you need me. If your heart gets broken - I can
not fix it, but together we can pick up the pieces.

If one day I hurt you, I will apologize. If you want
to stay away from me - I can not stop you. All I
can do is give you my blessing and wait for you
to come back.

So dear sister I want you to know, that you are 
special and always will be. When you get lonely,
sad, or blue - call me. I will always listen to you...

Andrea Dietrich October 23, 2012 at 7:05 AM Glad to hear you are four sisters and sorry about the one. I've not had to lose any of my four yet. I am the oldest, so maybe I'll be the one first lost one day. (at the rate my health is going, I would not doubt it)
