My siter goes in today to prepare for chemo and full body radiatio--her bone marrow transplant will be on Thanksgiving day

Secret Wish

 

On the eve of her re-admittance to the hospital,

As she saw before her, her impending hell,

And the gift of life it would bring,

My sister secretly wished for snow.

 

She wanted to see the young horses play,

And sniff at the cold white fluff.

Her heart wanted to experience the magic of,

That silent white magic, the first snow of winter.

 

And upon waking early, before her was lain,

A carpet of white, Magic and silent,

While others complained of the inconvenience,

She reveled inside as her horses cavorted!

Doesn't it make you want to cry, just a little, when our loving Heavenly Father grants our secret wishes...just to let us know He loves us...
It does me...

That was a wonderful gift. She asked and she received. God bless your sister, and God bless you for the pain you bear on her behalf.

My heart and thoughts are with you and your sister and I hope that all goes well. I know to see a loved one and especially a sibling that we are close to go through so much pain and be incapable of being able to do much to help is torture...I have been on both sides of that hospital bed and I know. However knowing you are there and care so much will go a long way...believe me I know.

It's the little things of nature that make the balance in someone's well-being when they are on physical and emotional tilt...Secret Wish reminds me of my poem the Cairngorm Reindeer of Scotland

My thoughts are with you and your family, Karen...it's the season for family and friends to be together in sickness and in health...compassion guides us through the horns of the reindeer on the sleigh of life...

Love,
Sage
