My Sister, my soul!

Raini & me at a wedding in 1984

My little sister is my rock. In her I find my strength. When I am lucky enough to be "home" in North Carolina, I try to spend as much time with her as I can.

We LOVE, and I mean LOVE shopping at antique stores and thrift shops. We have also recently begun yard sale shopping. We bring baby Karsen along. She is our mascot. At least until her eligibilty runs out when she begins talking and walking.

Raini is a Geriatric nurse and loves her elderly patients. She treats them so good. I am proud of her for so many things, but her kindness to these very ill, very old patients makes me the proudest.

Why must we have to be so far apart in distance? I need her and she needs me.

I hope, I pray that my daughters are this close one day.

I hope and pray I live near my sister one day.

In thee my soul shall own combined the sister and the friend. ~Catherine Killigrew
