Giving..

Today, I do not feel very well after lunch but that gives me a little opportunity to reflect a little about my sister.

I know she is very tired but she always answers to every query with energy and attends to mum's every single need promptly and with attentive care.

This is not all. She drops by my place to take a look at grandma who has just been discharged from hospital recently from a bad fall. I can feel sister's heartache over grandma's suffering when she gently chides the maid for her negligence, massages grandma's bruises, helps grandma with medication consumption and changes the diapers etc.

I am so overwhelmed with love and admiration for my sister as my eyes follow her silhouette of action. I ponder if I can ever be like her when giving care to my loved ones... ever so patient and unfailing in loving and caring...I pause... I know I still have a long way to go.. Really long way..

But I know...I am blessed to have her as my sister in my life. She has and will always touch me in ways that many fail.

Tomorrow is her birthday. I pray within my deepest soul that all things sweet and beautiful will come her way always..

Happy Birthday darling sister... I love you.
