The Hard Road Traveled

There are so many things swirling through my mind. I really think I had an out of body experience yesterday at my nieces home-going service. When the crowd disbursed I didn't want to leave her there by herself. Needless to say I had to be helped back to my friends truck. It was while I was at the truck my heart began pounding so fast. I felt like I was floating up above my own body and I could hear the screaming and wailing and I could see them lowering her into the ground I think it was then that I lost it completely. I could see the back of my head and it was then that I realized it was me. I literally had left  my body. I could not catch my breath and it was like a scene from a movie when someone is so distraught that the words and sound escape their bodies and they have traveled up and out. My sister says all she wants now is justice for her daughter. I want the GOD to avenge Shannon. I also have to pray to GOD to ask me to find the strength to forgive. This is the hard road that I travel.

My beloved younger sister was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. We as a family are devastated. She is literally in for the fight of her life.  This is where she will have to tap into her reserved strength to get through this battle. I pray for healing and a renewed sense of purpose for my sister. I am going to be there for her every step of the way.
