Adored for Life
Dear Bailah,
Greetings to you and your husband. Again, I extend my heartfelt thanks to you both for all the help you are giving Mom and Dad. I am as grateful to you as I am sorry that being a cancer patient and living out of town have made me unable to help. Thank you for your understanding and acceptance.
You know, I believe that we are good sisters even if we are not busom buddies. In the long run it gives Mom and Dad a broader spectrum of help and assistance than what they would have had were we alike in thought, manner, and deed. Now, as they are preparing to move near me and my family, I want you to know and remember how much I love you. You are and will always be my big sister. I have adored you my entire life and will continue to adore you.
You were a tough act to follow. Always smarter, more wise in the world, more aware, more responsible, very hard working, and astonishingly beautiful. I grew up in your shadow. All through school I was called by your name just as often if not more so than I was called by my own. Even the kids in my class wanted my help with you. They wanted you to know them... they thought you so beautiful. I was only good enough to be a bridge to you. But I did not mind because I loved and adored you with all my might which is why it was always painful for me to be unwelcomed in your world.
