Sister

Yesterday and today have been very sad days for me. My sister Arlyce has been diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer. I just can't imagine a world without her in it. To be able to call her and visit her is so nice and I will really miss that. I am also sorry for the course this disease takes and the pain and suffering she will endure....I am sad that I cannot do more to help her. I do understand more each year of my life how much we must do on our own and yet I am so thankful for those special ones who help to share the burdens. I realize more and more how much I grow in my faith in the Savior during times such as this. He is the only One who can truly heal our hearts and soothe our souls. I am so thankful for this knowledge. I love my family so much and I'm thankful for the good times we have had and will continue to have. I am also thankful for President Monson's advice to thank those who mean so much to us.

Well, got my wish----I am now employed. One should be careful what is wished for. I really enjoy being a nurse but sometimes I would just like to pick the parts of it that I like and do away with the rest. I want to use more of the skills I have developed but I'm not sure I will fulfill that desire in this job. Oh well-----I got my wish.
