It's been a difficult year. I have been hospitalized twice for food-allergy related incidents, (was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis, and found out the hard way I am allergic to benadryl), and last week, I unexpectedly lost my big sister. Now, I'm the only one of three siblings remaining, and I feel empty and alone. Both my parents are still alive but in ill health; and the thought of taking care of both of them is daunting/overwhelming. They were divorced somewhere around 25 years ago, and my oldest sister and I joked that she got custody of my mom and I got custody of my dad in the divorce. Well, now I have custody of them both, so to speak. My dad has paranoid delusions and thinks of all kinds of "out there" ideas and I struggle to be patient with it all. My mom is overweight, doesn't exercise, and when I went home for my sister's funeral, I couldn't grieve properly because my mom's kitchen seriously was a hoarding issue. There were dirty dishes that had been sitting there since before mother's day when I last visited her. It took me and my cousin a total of 11 man hours to clean it, when I'd rather have been visiting with my nieces/nephews and their kids. So I'm a bit angry about that too.
But just as the sun rises every day, so will I. And I will look forward to the blessings God has given me, and I will do my best to make both my sisters proud.
I miss you both so very much!
