I’ve had the greatest blessing in my sisters. Annie & Carol are my sisters. We had a very hard childhood, and it fell to our big sister to love us & protect us as we grew up. Where did that quality of loving care come from? It was not demonstrated by the example of our parents. No, she was born that way. God knows that she is just that kind & long suffering. Annie was the center of our world. She still is. —Doodles
