***Some people are just Tougher than others***
The other day I was driving and I heard a song and I got to thinking about my sister. The song is "Tough" by Craig Morgan. I have always known how strong my sister was but I never really experienced it first hand until I moved back. She is one of the toughest people I know. She's amazing! With her 5 children and everyday business she is the first one to wake in the morning and the last one to go to bed. Most of you know about her cancer that God healed her of. Well when things like that happen it doesn't slow her down. She just keeps going. She is the hardest worker I know. She doesn't stop. She has her hands in so much and it's hard for me to keep up with her. :) Anyways here is the song it pretty much explains my sister.

An opponent, a teammate, a fan in the stands.
As time presses on, those loathsome grains of sand.
Like looking in a personality mirror, I reflect you, you reflect me.
It's as if we take turns, one like the blossom, all attractive and bright-
The other, wise and nourishing as the leaf, carrying liquid in it's veins, -
A vessel whose purpose it is to supply life to the glorious petals.
I've given you my trust; you've lent me yours.
I've vilified you; I've placed you on a pedestal.
I've seen with my eyes, deep sorrow in yours.
I've ached for your pain-
And cursed with deep conviction at the tragedy you were forced to know.
You've listened to me spew disgust at the world, -
Disappointment in myself and in lovers.
You watched me relive the painful past-
Without judgment, interruption or sigh.
You love me. I love you. Since the day we met, I knew this.
Giggles to battles. Love to hate and to love once more.
A yielding to what time has revealed,-
Like the new, black pavement turned gray-
We have become what we were meant to be...
Sisters.
Without conditions, barriers or bars.
I don't think twice-
About all I am blessed with, -
About who determined this.
I know you were ordained by God-
To be to me, the greatest of gifts.

I love this poem. It so reminds me of us! I love you Jule and hope that one day when I have a family of my own I am just as tough as you!! I look up to you and think the world of you!! Stay encouraged God has already done so much and I know He has so much more in store for us!! I love being your right hand man or partner in crime like some say!!! ;-)
