ALL ABOUT MY SISTERS!


October 10 is a bittersweet day.


We celebrate life.

We remember death.

We rejoice in His promises that we
will all celebrate together again one day.

My older sister, Vicki, passed away five years ago today.

I miss her.

We all do.



My baby sister turns 42 today.

How can it be that she was just 18 months....?


........and was just my little flower girl

Now she has this beautiful family

Tell me, haven't I been blessed?!
There is nothing like a sister
Happy Birthday *ABF Blue*
I love you.
Annie

Prayed for you all today. You are always on my mind in October. I really miss Vicki, too. She was so much more than a good friend to me just like you. I'll never forget her kindness to me when I was pregnant and moving and when she painted McKinnlee's nursery. When we were moving to our current house, I couldn't look in that room after it had been painted over b/c I wanted to remember her in there painting it purple and yellow! She truly was a testament to the Lord. I also know how much she loved you all. We had many long conversations in her office as my pregnant belly didn't want to get up out of the chair in her office after school. She so loved Henry, Jana, Joy, your parents, you, Amy Beth, and Frankie and dearly valued your family. God bless each of you as you remember her today.

I can't imagine how sad it would be to lose a sister. It made me hurt just thinking about that, and all that you went through in the last five years since she has been gone.

Happy Birthday to your beautiful little sister! She has a good looking family.

I'm so sorry about your sister. I know you must miss her deeply. I have 4 sisters that I love and cherish. My only brother passed away 2 yrs ago and that void can never be filled......

There is no love like that of a sister. You share things no one else can. So sorry that one of yours is no longer with you. How wonderful to have that promise of years ahead to sit and talk with her in your heavenly home!
