Sister

The doctor came in.

We found no problem with anything.

Let's just take care of it with antibiotics.

She was 9 at the time.

Two years later and  it happening all over again.

Missing school every few days.

Hospitals on rise.

Tommorow and Wendsday.

Can she surmise?

Another day.

Another week

It seems endless.

6 months.

Maybe the medicine is wrong.

Lets put her back in to do some more tests.

The silent groan inside my head.

My little sister is there being probed and stuck.

All I can think is why her.

Throughout her life no one knew.

She's like any other kid.

But yet so unlike them.

It can get so bad that she'll ask:

Mommy Are they taking me to heaven?

All Mom can do is stare as her baby gets sicker

and the doctor continue to run tests

Is the end in sight for her no

because she knows how to fight and will

SURVIVE.

No matter the obstacles she always impresses me.

I love you sissy!
