I Am Blessed With The Best Relatives In The World.

From the previous post, you would have read that my family and I had been through one of the worst month of our lives. It would have been worse if not for the relatives that I have. My auntie and cousins really helped us lots. Hundreds and thousands of thank you will not be enough to express our gratitudes for them.

My cousin, D, first came to know about it and immedately she went to find out from her gynae and doctor if there is any thing that can help my sister's condition. When thing seems to be getting worse, I had to talk to someone about it as I was slowly breaking down. Cousin N was who I talked to. It really helped that I let it out of me and cried it all out. Cousin N literally lent me a shoulder to cry on.

Immediately the next day, cousins D, K and N came all the way down to my house to keep my sister company. They continued to keep my sister company for the next couple of days (it was the long weekends). On one of those days, they got my sister to talk about how she was feeling and it helped much to get my sister to open up and let out what is inside her. I could sense that after that talk, she came to accept the news and was more prepared for the result.

When we found out that the baby might have down syndrome, cousins D and K immediately helped to make an appointment with her gynae for a 2nd opinion and rushed down to the hospital to accompany my sister for appointment. They continued to shower my sister with lots and lots of care and concerns throughout this ordeal. Cousin Do even fed my sister so much on 1 of the weekends. : )

They were equally anxious waiting for the result this morning and when they found out that they are going to have another healthy nephew, they were as ecstatic as me. I know that they are genuinely happy to hear the news from the little reactions that they individually has when they heard the news. It is really heartwarming and I am very touched by what they had done for my sister and my family. It is them that makes it easier for us throughout.

I thank them for going through all the troubles of arranging the appointments and sending / picking my sister up.
I thank them for sacrificing their personal time to accompany my sister.
I thank them for helping to talk to my sister to make her feel better.
I thank whoever is up there for blessing me with such good-hearted relatives who are always there for us when we need supports.

I can never ask for more when it comes to families (immediate or extended).

One more very important person I must thank in this whole episode. She will be my brother's girlfriend (soon-to-be wife), R. Without her, we might not have been able to connect to my sister when she went into seclusion.

Thank you, all my dears. I really treasure you gals a lot.
