Family dedicated to my sister Kathleen

Joseph M Marion

My sister has cancer stage 4 I'm care taker and my niece to help in thet last month and her now deceased husband Tim as well I care for because she could not do it alone. She asked me to write letter to the family and this is it,

 

Family a depth of loved of special kind a gift from the creator above only family members can do this is true,
Only family who know you well enough to see beyond bravado and pride to what’s real inside know your grown and tall,
Who’s there to share your cares fears, and tears.
Family made from memories of when you were small,
The people who know your best to your worst amongst them all,
Family are ones whom you're blessed.
Without them you start to believed your cursed, this would not even be the worst,
You're just like them a copy a gift of love so you don’t forget,
"No way! Some say but only to see it true later in life your saying what mom and dad did to.
Family is made of different parts but we're all the same
and not just our hearts.
A thread of love joins us all, incredibly strong and resilient,
It's flimsy at times it trembles,
but never breaks but joins us all,
It's unseen it’s invisible at times but can feel it like a tight grip without slip
But when things get rough,
Its family shows it cares better than any friend could or dare,
Family hauls us back together when we’re lost, separated or stranded, never left abandon.
Throughout the years many lessons I have learned,
At the end when it's all said and done,  family starts to die one by one, as you stand before their casket with your head hung knowing that the very actions of your life the very words you spoke can never be taken back once. you speak those words good or bad reasons regardless it cannot be taken back and all the sorry in the world won't fix what you had just said and done in your life time from past, these words spoken will last, t
he worst is now you have to live with the consequences of your actions , so do the one smart thing and think before you speak, stop and think of the actions, words you are doing or saying you don’t know the domino effect or the reaction it will have, or who it will affect, do you really want to live with that? This is your family treat them with the greatest respecta and always love your family unconditionally and don't hold grudges don’t take them to the Grave because it’s our creator you have to face. You don't want to be playing the would of,  should of , could of,  game before you close your eyes.
