I don't know many people who have had lives that are as tragic as my sister Kristina. Her story is amazing, but sad because she lost her family. Seven years ago Kristina came to the US thinking that she would return to her mother and siblings, but she ended up staying. She had surgery, that I believe was disappointing in that it didn't make her all better. Then she lived with some awful people and eventually came to live with us.
Kristina just planned a trip back to Ghana to see her family. She is leaving in about a month.
Today we got the news that her mother died. She hasn't seen her in seven years, and now she will not see her again.
All I can do is hold her and cry with her.
