My Sister is Awesome
Friday, October 4, 2013 at 8:03AM I always write about the awesomeness that is my family. I have 3 sisters and each one is awesome in their own way. This is about my sister Diane who just finished up a battle with Breast Cancer that she won.
On Wednesday KOB4-NBC in Alburquerque, New Mexico ran a story about mother who lost her son 7 months ago due to a heart condition. She purchased a headstone for her son's grave but the funeral home went out of business before they gave it to her. She spent the money and yet her son's stone was never received. You can watch that report here.
My sister Diane saw this story on the news and decided to talk to her boss the next day to see what they can possibly do. She works for a granite company in Albuquerque. When she told her boss he was sure they could help and had Diane contact the news station to find out the woman's info.
Check out what ended up happening.
I have always been proud of my sister. All of my sisters actually. But Diane has made me so damn proud I can hardly stand it!
I love you sis and thank God that you are the person you are. You inspire me!

Wonderful story, George, and a well-deserved tribute to your sister.
BTW-the first link in your post doesn't seem to work.
Thanks Laddie! I fixed the link too.
I speak as an authority having met most (if not all) of your family. It's genetic. You are all just awesome and you can't help it.
This is beautiful. Got me crying (good crying) this morning.
What a wonderful story... I guess awesomeness is genetic!
