My Sister, My Friend

A few years ago, twin girls Brielle and Kyrie were born prematurely to the Jackson family. They were immediately placed in seperate incubators to reduce the risk of infection. Kyrie, the larger sister, at two pounds three ounces,quickly began gaining weight and calmly slept. but Brielle, who weighed only two pounds at birth, could not keep up with her. Suddenly one day Brielle's condition became critical. The nurse tried everything she could think of to stabilize Brielle, but still she squirmed and fussed and her heart rate soared. Then the nurse remembered a procedure she had heard about. She said to the worried parents, "let me try putting Brielle in with her sister to see if it helps." The parents consented, and the nurse slipped the squirming baby into the incubator with her bigger sister. No sooner had the door of the incubator closed than Brielle snuggled up to Kyrie and calmed right down. Within minutes Brielles' blood -oxygen readings were the best they had been since she was born. As she dozed, Kyrie wrapped her tiny arm around her smaller sibling. The doctors and nurses had tried every medical and scientific device possible to help Brielle and nothing worked. Nothing could do for the struggling baby what her own sister could do for her. This is what sisters can do for each other.

This is how I feel about my sister. I couldn't live without her. Thanks for everything you do for me sis!! I love you!
