Oh, Hannah, I can't even put my mind and heart into your circumstances. How blessed your sister is to have you by her side. I have no sister, my brother died 8 years ago, but I have "adopted" a couple of sisters! I would want them close by me were I to be in your sister's place. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. I'm glad she "stretched her time" with good care and family love. But I so hate this disease that steals precious time from these wonderful warriors. May these last days be filled with an abundance of peace, and a spirit of God's love. It feels so helpless not to be able to help...but I will pray for you both. Much love to you, mary anne
