Dear Trina: I just left your house and cried all the way home, my tears are now dry and I've placed my trust in the Lord. You've said it to me a million times and you are so very right! HE has HIS hand on you and this whole process and with that, what more could you possibly need? Certainly not a cry baby big sister!!! Oh, well, get over it cause it's in our genes as you well know! I'm sure there will be plenty more of those before this is all said and done too! I stood there tonight taking your "before" pictures and my thoughts were filled with, "She's soooo beautiful! Look at those beautiful green eyes and that gorgeous smile! Look at those delicate wrists and how the heck did she get so lucky to have such small ankles! and those boobies!! Man if I could just have an "a" cup of those I'd be a "D"!!! HEY WORLD!! THIS IS MY BABY SISTER!!!! I'M SO EXTREMELY PROUD OF HER!!! (yes, even with your hair pulled up like Wilma Flinstone you are still gorgeous! Seeing you like that, so carefree tonight with your hair piled on top of your head reminded me of the baby picture we have of you in the red velvet dress and your hair pulled up on top in a bow-ok! enough of that!!! must be allergies, yea, thats the ticket my allergies are acting up and making my eyes all watery) I know that the next few months are going to be hard on you but do you have any idea how hard the next few days are going to be for me? (yes, I'm still the selfish one!) Until I can see you for myself and truely know with my own eyes and my own touch of your soft skin that you are okay I'm probably going to be a basket case! (pray for the kids and Don, they're going to need it! LOL) So, little sister, you better rest well on your way home because I'll be at your door the minute you arive to see you for my own self! If you call before you get back to town I'll whip up a batch of broth for you (hahaha)! You're going to be fine Katrina (& if the good Lord is willing and the creek don't rise, I will be too - smirk). Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life! May God keep you and bless you. Love, Karen
