' Sisters rule,brothers drool,'laughed my four year old sister Anna as she watched my brother Tod trying to beat her at checkers,she won the last six games and you think Tommy would know better,after all he was eleven. 

I was fourteen the eldest it was Saturday and we had all day to ourselves as long as we kept the house and our parents in eyesight. ' I get the winner and Anna I don't play fair.'
 

' Dood if yiu seen me play I do not .' Sometimes I smile every time she talk she was after all four  I took care of my family they were my responsibility as well, I even watched my parents who to were home today too,they were inside the house trying too decide if we should go for a drive go to a movie or too the beach or just stay home, They decided to stay home. 
 

Suddenly then something happened that would change our lives forever and our mother called us in the house for a family meeting,usually these end up with someone mad or glad or yelling and sad, Unfirtunately as we went to see them I grabbed Anna as I sat sown in my favorite beanbag and saw the look on the face of our parents,my mom was crying. ' Anna go with your dad I have too talk too your brothers.' As they lrft the room, my mom looked at both of us.'
 

She then gave me a letter to read out loud and as I did I suddenly fell to my knees the letter said bluntly that my little sister had roughly three months to live and no chance for a cure,she had cancer .My brother cried and ran to my mother I wanted to but since I was the oldest I had too be strong and be strong for the whole family. It was impossible.
 

At this time I then was looking forward to being baptized then  and couldn't wait,but suddenly as days passed so my sister got weaker one day the hospital called us and in fact my sister was then dying .I couldn't take it,I said my goodbye too my sister,tooked a deep breath and ran out of the hospital. I knew where I was going,nearby were a set of railroad tracks at this time the train would usually be speeding by, I loved my sister .

' Don't,' came a voice,' Your sister is with me now,' I turned and saw the form of Jesus Christ before me I knelt down before him,' I loved her why you taking her from me.' 
 

' That then  is not the question here,you then are blaming yourself because you cannot save her there was nothing no one could do it was her time,you must have faith,would your sister want you to kill yourself,of course not,she would want you too live and so do I,you must live in honor and memory of her but also you must teach people about me.God bless you son. ' Then he was gone,I then  got off the train tracks almost at the same time the train was coming by. 
 

I never told anyone what I saw,but I kept his words dear to my heart, I kept the honor and memory of my sister ,in me and was finally baptized,in the years ahead I became a better person for myself,my friends and family,but too more important my little sister . end.
