Saying good-bye to my sister

On September 10,2007 received a phone call from my younger sister that our sister Peg was admitted to the hospital. When my husband and I arrived to the hospital to visited her and find out information was going on. My husband and I was informed that my sister Peg was dignois with Squamous Cell Cancer. I have priavtely took her doctor aside and had a few questions to ask the doctor. The first question I blurted out with, How long? The doctors response back to me; he answered I am sorry your sister has four to six months. I felt there and then that someone just pounched me in the gut and knock the wind right out of me. Hearing the news I was shocked and for the first time I was speecheless and felt so helpless that I had no answers or could not help her. My second question that I asked her doctor what kind of cancer she has. His answer was Squamous Cell cancer, I heard of many kinds of cancer but this was the first time I heard of this type. We visited my sister over the period of a few months in the hospital. Every visited I broke down in tears, I prayed for a healing and sang with her and answered her questions. I bend over whispered quitely in my sisters ear and as hard it was for me to tell her I told her it was okay to go home. Your fight is over and our daddy is waiting for you. I saw the tears rolled down in her eyes.

On January 17, 2007, I said my last good-byes to my sister and told her I love her. A few hours later at 5:00 P.M, my sister Peg said she was tired so she closed her eyes and took her last breath. Now a photo of my sister Peg hangs on my wall and a photo magnet with her photo in it. Before my close my eyes at night I say good night to her. I still talk to my sister and tell her I miss her so much, I also tell her I am happy for her for her suffering is over and she is no longer ill from cancer. For you are with the Lord and soul rest in peace sis. Her birthday is June 15, every year since her passing I celbrate her birthday in her memory and to remind me every year the fight she gave and to keep her memory alive.

My sister Peg and I made the most wonderful memories in the few months she was among us. Cancer don't only disturbs the love ones but it also errups the whole family. It took me six months griefing over her death but every day it gets a bit easier. I tell myself that I must let her go for her to rest in peace.
