Jingles for my sister, please.


We are home... Early, exhausted and emotions spent, but home. I've never been so happy to step foot on Canadian soil in all my life. At this time I'm not going to go in detail but I can say that on the second day of our trip- on a "sea day" in the Gulf of Mexico- my sister sustained a significant injury. The doctor on board determined that it was best she travel home as soon as possible to see a specialist here in Canada but due to our location we had to wait two days before being able to catch a flight (from Belize) that could accommodate her needs. As horrible as these past few days have been, and despite how much my sister has had to endure, we still have reason to be thankful as she is expected to make a full recovery. My family was raised with the expression, "I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet."

As bad as it is, my sister is walking, her spine is in tact, her brain is as sharp as every and her heart is beating strong. There is so very much to be thankful for... but it is hard to remember that when you see someone you love in pain.

I believe in energy and positive thinking and so would greatly appreciate any "jingles" for my sister's health and speedy recovery... no need to leave a comment, just a moments thought is all it takes.

Thank you and I'll post an update soon.
