Don't Leave it 'Til It's Too Late

My brother in law currently health wise is not doing well, and waiting on a transplant. The past 8 + months has been stressful for the Family, but especially for my sister in law, and obviously my brother in law.  The stress levels have recently gone up, as he is has recently been admitted to Hospital.

My sister in law and brother in law have shown strength, bravery, positivity , love and have continuously put on a brave face for their nephew and nieces, who love them ‘around the world’.

They play a big part in our children’s lives, and followed us from Chicago to Arizona to be close to them (and us).

The love shown to him has been unparalleled by his wife, who will not leave his side while he is in Hospital. We have suggested she go home at night to sleep, which is like blasphemy to her that we could even make such a suggestion.  The bond, and love shown between the two of them in unbreakable.

Family is extremely important, and the bond between siblings/family should never be broken by anyone. I can never comprehend when I hear someone say they have not spoken to their sibling, parent etc.  for x amount of years. (We are in 2020 pick up the phone, send a text to that one person you have been too proud of to reach out too –make the first move).

As my father emphasized the importance of Family when I was growing up, I am doing with my kids. I know in my heart, if I ever needed my Family they would be there (and if they were not my father would smack them!).

My sister in laws sisters have shown this kind of love for their sister and brother in law. We are all worried at the moment, but need to stay strong and brave. We are optimistic and I know in my heart that he will receive the transplant he needs.  Family is important during the ups and downs. The love you get from your parents, siblings, husbands and wives cannot be measured.

As my brother reminds me, “Live for the day, as you do not know what tomorrow is going to bring, but make sure to provide for the future as you never know what is going to happen.”

Keep moving forward, and go phone your Family!
