A very sad write. I hope your sister will be ok and she will see how very much this hurt the family and how much you all love her.

Oh, Mel - such terrible news! My heart goes out to you and your family - and mostly, to your sister. I do hope that health and happiness are just around the corner for her.

Your poem is excellent... it reads as if it was written in a state of shock, in the midst of great pain - which, unfortunately, makes sense here. You made my heart sink with this one.

Extra hugs,
SNM
