In short, Monday Edie is about receiving a telephone call on November 16th that has forever changed my life. When I returned home from a mini vacation with my Husband; I received a frantic phone call from my Sister Heidi. She received a telephone call from the Beverly Police Department asking her to pick up my Sister’s Boys from School.
Usually, the boys were picked up around 5:30 p.m. However, Heidi wasn’t sure if my Sister Edie was in an accident; or what happened. As I spoke more to my Sister Heidi on the telephone, my Husband and I headed to Beverly Hospital hoping to get answers. What we saw and learnt was one of the worst days of my life.
Monday Edie
Monday Edie – was brutally attacked by her estranged Husband and is hanging on for her life. Edie’s estranged Husband walked into the Police Department and informed the Police he murdered his Wife. Not only is Edie is my loving Sister, but she is also my Best Friend. To see my Sister lying in ICU hanging on by the threads of her life by a life support machine has me numb. Each day I wake up hoping to hear something positive out of the Medical Professionals. Overall the news has been dire.
Monday Edie will begin and end as one of the worst days of my Life as I witness the demise of a wonderful Sister, Friend and Mother. Edie has been a positive role model in Education, Writing, Inspiration and the lives of others. My Family and I wish we could have done something to prevent this horrific act of violence committed against my Sister. Her estranged husband made vows to honor and protect her and went off the deep end several years ago after being diagnosed with Mental Illness. Monday and Edie has been several days ago but each day I pray for a reversal. All in all, I wish this was a bad dream.
Please keep my Sister and my Family in your thoughts and prayers. Overall, offer us your friendship, love and support not only today, but each day forward. Life is short and looking back, the things we think are so upsetting are mild when dealing with tragedy and health.
In summary, my writing is helping me deal with this horrific act of violence to my beautiful sister.
As always, I welcome your comments. In conclusion, I will continue to blog and update regularly.
