MY SISTER AND HER SON ARE COMING....Both are coming this coming wednesday to visit from Washington State. I'm very excited because I have not seen family since last August. There is a special bond I feel I have with my sister and my nephew. All the memories I have from childhood are about spending time with my sister, even pictures of childhood are all with her holding me or carrying me.
I love her son very dearly. She had him out of wedlock and wasn't too sure if she wanted to have him or not. I fought with her to the end about not having an abortion and she didn't. My nephews name is Calvin. She had him and for the first year of his life I helped her watch after him. I remember praying over him while I held him. A year after that happened she moved in with the Calvin's father who was very abusive to them both. It took a lot of courage but I got her to leave him. Sometimes people get stuck in a moment and they can't see the way they hurt themselves. I see it everyday. They have both been living with my parents. He is turning five and on his way to start school in September. I'm happy they are both spending a week down here.
