My older sister, Toni, is a victim of severe cerebral palsy. She has been confined to a wheelchair and has had to rely upon others to care for her since birth. She cannot walk, talk, feed, clothe or bathe herself. She communicates with her eyes. She is now 61 years old and now lives with my daughter, Mikki. In spite of her condition, she has a remarkable spirit, and a wonderful sense of humor. She has a warm, loving and gentle heart. She absolutely adores Celine Dion and has been to two concerts. She loves shopping. In her new hi tech wheel chair, with the help of a family member or nurse, she can do what loves: shopping at the nearby Walmart, K-Mart or the Pocatello Mall. She loves the color green. I made the quilt, "Magic Vines" for her newly decorated and painted bedroom. I wanted expess how deeply entwined our life is entwined with hers.
