As I've mentioned in earlier posts, I'm the youngest of four daughters. We lost my oldest sister to Acute Myloid Leukemia almost five years ago. While I do I love living on a mountain in Oregon, there are times when I realize that I'm so far away...too far away. I just heard this morning that my sister Gerry is on her way to an emergent surgery in Tennessee...and I'm in Oregon. That breaks my heart that I'm not there for her right now. I'm the RN in the family and should be there with her. There are phones and email, but it's just not the same.
So, for now, I'll just pray. That's the very best thing I can do for my big sister right now...

Update: The surgery went well and the outcome was good news. Thank God!
I am happy to read that the surgery went well. I know about being far from extended family and it can be tough. Prayer is a big thing, that you are doing.
