I Always Prayed For A Sister!!!

I was sort of a fluke, being that my parents had been married for over 18 years before my mother finally became pregnant. They were not expecting to get pregnant since they had tried all types of fertility treatments and nothing had seemed to work. Finally, when my parents totally gave up and I showed up!

But, being an only child born to older parents was not the most ideal of situations. Not to mention that my parents did not even speak the language. Not easy growing up… I remember being very lonely and at times having no one to share anything with really bothered me (possibly explains why I love BIG families). So, I would always pray that I would someday have a sister.

Little did I know that God was waiting for me to become an adult, so I could truly appreciate the gift of a sister. Besides blessing me with two wonderful sons (and hopefully a daughter) I gained a sister through adoption. I met Jill while adoption my son J.R. and we became instant friends. Our relationship has grown to that of sisterhood. I could not have prayed for a more caring, open hearted and God filled sister. She guided me to Gods grace and continues to be my confidant. Even though I would be considered the “older” sister, she still gives me the best advise anyone would ever hope for and sometimes, like true sisters, we disagree but always agree to "disagree".

Well, tomorrow my beautiful sister and her three amazing daughters will be flying in from PA and will be sharing three wonderful days with J.R., Mandy and I at Disney!!!!! I am beyond excited about our time together and promise to share many wonderful pictures with everyone next week.
