I pray you survive
When I think about
the last fourteen years
and all of the places I’ve been
the people I have met
those who have had an influence
on who I am today
I have certain people who I care about
that I think about
that I don’t always talk to
who are there for me
while I am there for them
and they know who they are
because that is how we are
and it is at this time
that I pray
that my friend
my sister
will survive
all she is going through
despite the pain
despite the desire to give up
and to give in
to the cards that were dealt
which are those
which I would like to take away
so that she may continue to live
for the valuable person she is.

Oh how sad, Christine, and at the same time, so wonderful that she has you to lean on. I pray she survives and heals, by God’s grace.

A true friend to want to take away the pain and help shoulder the burden. With you as her friend I’m sure she will come through the bad times and into some sunshine!
