Sisterly Love

I wanted to write some thoughts I had about conference today. As my family prayed for Tiff's comfort I found my self holding on and not ready to let go. Every day is a miracle for Tiffany, it's even more of the miracle when we walk in the room and she instantly acknowledges who we are with a smile. I prayed today for comfort to feel the love of my sister and heavenly father. As each speaker spoke of the topics I didn't feel like it was talking to me until president Monson stood and gave a talk that described my family perfectly. My personal prayer was answered. Our angel loves life and is afraid to leave but I now know that we shouldn't fear because she will live again and be able to walk, run and laugh like she's always loved to. Tiffany can't talk very well anymore but the phrase that she always finds enough air to say with force is I LOVE YOU! I love my sister so much and am so great she's been part of my life. Even though her time is short and she might be afraid to leave this earthly home I know that my heavenly father loves her just as much and will take the best care of her. I hope to write more memories of the relationship that I've developed with Tiffany. Even though she didn't get the miracle that we all hoped for she has lived miraculous life that will touch not only my life forever, but those that I come in contact with. She is still with us so we'll make the most of these last few days, weeks, months that we have with her. For her though we wish her to be in her heavenly home where her physical body will no longer feel pain. I love you little sister Tiffany!
