being there for my niece

Tweet

One day my sister asked me, just outta the blue, if something happened to her would I care for her kids? I didn't hesitate, I said yes. But then I asked her why would something happen to her. And she told me she was just asking...and I was like you don't ask something like that and not expect me to ask questions. So, me being the patient person that I am I waited for her to tell me on her own time and she did like three weeks later. She told me the dr.s found a mass in her chest and she couldn't seek medical help becuase her job didn't offer insurence to help pay for that and she was already struggling enough as it is...this happened 2 years ago and she got the mass removed and she hadn't yet told me anything else related to that issue so Im assuming everything is A ok! Has anyone ever asked you something like that? I'd sure like to know Im not the only one here in MyLot whose had this burden on my sholders..... I mean we can afford to but I will do that for my SBBS! Her boys already look at their only Uncle as their father and he doesn't mind...at least he hasn't told me otherwise. I would rather care for them then other people because sure they may have the means and everything but I am the Aunt and therefore I will make it work!
