When four sisters in the 90s learned that their fifth sister had only a week to live, they didn’t hesitate to fly to help her.
Four months later, the 97-year-old is still alive and her sisters make sure she looks pretty every day and know how much she is loved.
Her wish to stay home until the end has come true and she has a reason to continue, surrounded by the unconditional love of her sisters.
Nicole Hauff shared her grandmother’s experiences and the special bond she shares with her sisters.
Love What Matters
“When my grandmother and her four sisters walked into a room, they would attract people’s attention. Five women in their 90s, cute as can be with a love that cannot be denied,” she said, according to Love What Matters.
“These sisters are in the longest relationship of their lives, longer than the time they spent with their parents and longer than the time they were married to their spouses.”
Nicole said the love these sisters share inspires her commitment to her own four sisters.
“My grandmother and her sisters taught me and my sisters to love unconditionally. We call them grandmothers and they continue to teach us how to love well,” she said.
“Sisters share more things with each other than anyone else; We share parents, rooms, friends, secrets, and family genes. Sisters have a special bond and the gift you receive being and having a sister lasts a lifetime.”
Love What Matters
She also made a commitment to her own sisters based on the ‘Grandma’s love and care they have for each other.’
“When my sisters are old, I will brush their hair and make sure they look pretty, until the very end.”
She said her grandmother’s spouse died 20 years ago and she believes the “affection of her sisters gave her a reason to be alive and active.”
She added: “When you feel loved and wanted, you have a reason to live. These sweet sisters are the best companions; they often went to the gym together, to church, and to the store. A daily phone call and an outing to the local Mexican Restaurant keeps them connected.”
Love What Matters
I love the bond these five share, it gives them all a reason to go on and enjoy life to the full ensuring that they each feel special and loved.
