Good night , God Bless you , I love you, say your prayers, sorry for what I have done
to you, have pleasant dreams, see you in the morning !
Those simple words were formed by three very small sisters, and they were
"Our sister's words."
We faithfully recited them every night before we fell asleep.
Those words were made up on our own and it created a special bond that
can never be broken. It showed us sisters how small and fragile we really are
but with God Almighty wonderful things can happen.
We came from a large Christian Catholic Family of nine. We had four older
brothers and us three sisters were born at the end of the line. We were all
a year apart except for the youngest . She was four years younger than I .
I was the sixth child and the middle girl. Our parents were very consistent in
getting us to Sunday Mass every week and seeing that we attended Sunday School
as well.
Our Mother made many of our dresses and we received many compliments!
I remember before going to church we would pick up two older women who were sisters.
We drove a brown rambler station wagon and with all of us nine and the two ladies
we were packed. I don't remember any of us complaining, for we knew our parents were
doing a good deed for the Lord.
My family were raised very close together emotionally, physically, and more importantly
spiritually. We always prayed together before mealtimes, in the evenings, and when times
were hard. We gave our thanks to God and bonded together as the years passed by.
On January 17, 1994, is when my first page began in my journal. I had no typewriter
nor computer. May you go to
Lori Foster's Story and you will find my first written page.
I watched my children grow up around me and they all knew how to operate a
computer. I really had no desire in learning how to run the thing, so I kept
on cooking, cleaning, and doing what was needed to be done for my family.
As my children were becoming older, we decided it would be best to purchase
a new computer, for we knew it would help with their homework. My husband and I
didn't know it could rack up the telephone bill to use it! Back then it was dial up and
our bill climbed to $1000 in two months' time! Of course, the Telephone Companies
system was down and we never received a
bill for two months! Therefore, we didn't know our bill was climbing through the roof!
Well, to make a long story short we received another large bill of $ 10,000! And
this is where Rachel and Isaac (our youngest two) come in my story!
May you read "My Struggles and Success." It explains why the $10,000 bill!
Our New Arrival (4th story) It also explains the surprised $10,000 bill
