Tonight I received word that my sister-in-law is not expected to live the night. It will be a great loss to her family and my brother will especially be lost without her.
Many decades ago he was single, left in charge of five children, and had no transportation to or from work and lived in a place not quiet as good as the average shack when she literally picked him up off the streets. He would be walking to work and sometimes when it was her turn to drive the carpool she would stop and offer him a ride.
She saved his life, not in the physical sense, but she gave him a chance to have a life and they have been good together all these years.
If she had one thinbg left to say to anyone who would care to listen it would be to quit smoking. She did but it wasn't soon enough to prevent her suffering and death.
See you in church Sunday.
