Ok, well this is my first blog. I wanted to do this as a way to "vent" about life and other things. My sister, Leigha, passed away last Tuesday, July 14, from a battle with Leukemia. She battled this ugly disease she called "Canser" from last July. I believe it would have been a year the last week of the month. For all of you who knew her, she was an amazing, faith driven fighter. She was beautiful, not only on the outside, but on the inside also.
I went back to work yesterday. And let me tell you, it was the hardest thing to do. (Besides the viewing and funeral.) Mentally, I was not ready to be back. But I knew that I needed to do it, not only for myself, but for Leigha. She'd want me to get over it and get on with my life. I can almost hear her saying it. So, with the help of a few friends, I made it through. I also made it through with the help of God. Without Him, I would have crashed and burned about a week ago. My sister taught me so much during the past 6 months or so. Her undying faith and strength was so inspiring. I could have been mad at God for taking my sister. But, for some reason, I'm not. I feel at peace in a way. I know that she's not suffering anymore. And now that she's in Heaven, there's no way what-so-ever that she'd come back to Earth.
I could ramble on and on and on about all this, but I'm not. I just wanted to try this whole "Blogging" thing out. I'm not sure if it's for me or not, but we'll see. I hope all of you, who knew my sister, learned a thing or two from her. I know I did.
