My sister's birthday

Last week, on March 8th, it would have been my sister Mary's 36th birthday. She passed away 6.5 years ago. Well we went out for dinner as a family to remember her, it was really nice to have that. We went to Szechuan Chungqing, one of my favourite Chinese restaurants, that she introduced our family to. She and her husband were the ones who introduced me to so many different ethnic foods and spoiled me, taking me out to eat all the time. She also encouraged me to keep persevering in school towards medicine. She didn't get to see me get accepted but I know she would be very proud of me. She was the one who was always willing to come sit through all the boring awards ceremonies I had throughout high school. I still miss her. It always grounds and centres me to think about how life is short--if I were to pass away at the age she did, 29, that would be in 4 years. I want to live in a way that I would not regret it if my life were to be shortened like that. May the Lord keep me with my eyes focused on eternity! Then when my life is over, I can go to meet Jesus and also be with my sister again. I am so thankful that I have such an amazing hope to look forward to!
