I have to tell you guys about my wonderful little sister. Of course, she isn't little anymore. She's a grown woman with her own business and her own house and an adorable little dog. She's also been an anchor for our family for the past 20 years since my father lost his business and sent our whole family's finances spiraling.
In the midst of extreme crisis, she went to work at a job she hated and supported my parents and my brother. And, on occasion helped me out financially as well. Then, she started her own PR company and has worked tirelessly to build it into a very successful firm in spite of ups and downs. And, in the past twelve years or so since I lost my business, she's helped to support me.
Now, she's taking care of my parents in a much more physically and emotionally stressful way having to deal with both of them being ill off and on and pretty much by herself since my brother and other sister refuse to do anything to pitch in.
What is really amazing is that she doesn't really complain. She lets me know that it is a big weight but she is the most positive person I know and is the most unselfish and generous person I've ever known. God certainly blessed this family when He created her. I feel so blessed to have her as my sister and I just had to share this with someone.
For all of you who pray, I'd appreciate you praying for Betty. She can use it and I would be ever so grateful to have the prayer support for her.

Wow! She is Superwoman or Wonderwoman or just a blessing. You are blessed indeed with such a sister and I'll be praying for Betty. You sound like a good sister too, whimsyST.

She is a wonderful sister and I do try to be a good sister as well. I wish I could be of more help to her. I think I left out that she's taking in a friend and her elderly parents right now because of Hurricane Ike. I'm amazed that she has that much energy.
Anyway, thanks for the comments.

You are very lucky to have a sister like her because not all little sister is like her. I also have little sister and she is so lazy. When she is at home all she do is to lie down in her bed. She don't listen in our advice about her cheating relationship and she also don't respect our dad. I don't know what to do in my sister for her to change.

It's difficult to watch someone we love self-destruct but she needs your love and prayers most of all right now. Don't give up on her. Take care...and I'll pray for you as well.
