Comment from MissMerri
Thank you so much for sharing this story with us, Linda. Your sister was very beautiful. You both had some difficult times when barely more than babies. I hope the years after your mother came back for you were happy years. The poem your sister wrote is heart-breaking in its sadness and really tells a story on its own. I'm glad you found it and have shared it here. I'm sorry though, that you had to say goodbye to your sister too soon. My older sister is gone as well, but I have two remaining. Sisters are very special. You have my sincere condolences. MM

I am so sorry for the loss of your older sister as well...your so very right...sisters are very special to each other...
I have a stepsister left...and 2 brothers...I lost my younger brother in 2011...he was 56...I miss my sister so much...I have so much I want to tell her...I know she is at peace now...she is home with God...and that in itself...gives me peace...
Thank You so much sweet girl for a wonderful review...and all your kind words...and you are always so welcome...love you...Linda xxoo
Comment from Lana Marie
Thank you for sharing your story and your sisters poem. It made me think about what it was like for my mom when she was dropped off at an orphanage in Minnesota a year after my mom was dropped off at a friends for the night which turned into a year of living at her friends house. You did a good job giving the poem a background story !

Comment from Paul McFarland
The story is five stars, which is what I am giving you. The prose section needs a little cleaning up. The story is heart wrenching, and I'm sure that there are many who can relate to it.

Comment from L. Kalere
First of all, please accept my condolences. This must be a difficult time for you and your family.
I'm so glad you chose to share her poetry, she was very talented. And thanks to you for providing background information...it made it more relatable and clear. Feelings are just that: There's no right or wrong, it just happens and this period of time created powerful memories for her, as well as you. Poetry is sometimes the door to the subconscious, as well as the way to lift a burden.
Well done,
Linda

Hi Linda, Thank You so much sweet girl for a wonderful review...
and all your kind words...
my sister was talented in so many ways...but it seemed her spirit was broke from the orphanage...and she always felt abandoned when my mother left...
she is with God now...she is home...and now living in peace...
and with that...I am more at peace...Thank You my sweet friend for a wonderful review...God Bless...love you...Linda xxoo

Comment from Anne Johnston
Thank you for sharing this memory of your sister. How terrible that must have been for both of you to face those things in your early life. Her poem reveals how she felt as a child, but had no one to whom she could go for help.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
First my sincere condolences in your sister's passing. That special bond you had with your sister will always be with you in your heart and prayers. I know, but cannot explain why the "good" sisters were so cruel. I wrote earlier how I was treated in school. So I know you are not exaggerating.
Sorry for your pain.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Thank you for sharing this painful poem/story. Your sister's poem is excellent. Thank you for sharing. I am sure this will help you heal and will help others heal in similar situations.
And she said in a wispy voice "I love you", and than turned her head and shut her eyes (and then)

Dear Linda, what a heartfelt story/poem. The story was emotional and
gave great details of the scene. I found it to be engaging, sad, tearful,
detailed, descriptive and creative. Thank you for the author's notes - please know you did a great job with this. I am so sorry for the pain and losses you went through. Hope you are doing well. Hugs, Maria

Comment from Senyai
Hi L. Raven,
This is heartbreaking! I am glad your mother came and got you and your sister Diane from the orphanage. Institutions, even in the name of religion can never offer the love and understanding of family. This is such a shame because there are times when families need help and unfortunate situations arise.
I know the religious organizations can harbor some horrific crimes, not saying the nuns did this here but per the Catholic church some of the worst crimes against children have been committed. I hope you and your sister found some love and peace in your lives.
Your Sister's poem is sad but well written. I know you miss her and your mom.
Have a great week :))

HI Senyai, your so right about the Catholic religion...I have read some horrible things done to children...from years and years ago...and it's still going on...I don't understand it...
we did have good times in our lives...my grandparents were our guarding angels...even though we did live with our parents...
Thank You sweet girl for a wonderful review...and yes...I miss my sister and mom so very much...my mom waited to go be with my dad...they had been together 64 years...
Thank You for a wonderful review my sweet friend...God Bless...love you...Linda xxoo
