For My Sister

This weekend I received word that Huntingtons disease is taking my sister's life sooner than I could have imagined.  We are praying we have 6 months with her.  My life has taken a huge shift.  I will travel to see her every chance I have.  Time is like a pocket of gold.

Today I heard this amazing, inspiring 29 year old singer Justin Hines. This young man with crippling condition has an amazing spirit for living life fully.  His disability does not limit what is possible in his life.  I am amazed by his remarkable heart for making the most of his gifts and talents.  His spirit for making a difference inspires me to be an instrument of greater good.

Here is a song he wrote that moves me so deeply.  Say what you will - my sister will always be my dearest friend.  Love you my sweet sister.

    Sally I am so sorry to read this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My own sister is off to the Cleveland Clinic Friday for hopefully a diagnosis of some sort. Times like these remind us that we may not always know the plan that God has in store for us. Cherish every minute you have! <3
