What sacrifices have you made in life?
The sisters I live with are more than family. They are my bestfriends. Through the years, they were always there for me, like second mothers, as I am the last in the family. So, if they need me, I will be there for them.
I will give you an example. It may seem small trivial even, but for my big sister, it meant a great deal.
She worked hard. Coming home late and waking early to leave for work. Transportation was spotty to say there was any. She had to leave before dawn to get a bus, then transfer and finally walk to the office. Sometimes, she would be so exhausted after work that she would fall asleep during dinner.
In the morning, she would be the first to wake and get ready for work, never having enough time to prepare breakfast or lunch. At that time I too had a long commute to work. On my day to cook, which was once a week. I would wake up at two in the morning and prepare her breakfast, lunch, and dinner with enough leftover for her to take the next day for work.
It was hard. I had to get ready for work and I had night classes that same evening. It made for an incredibly long day. I didn’t mind cause she used to do the same for me.
When another sister couldn’t do it for her, Mom and Dad would fill in. In the end, we worked as a team until her hours were changed and things were back to normal.
