Waiting for the Fulfillment of a Promise Made

Before my father passed away, I promised him that I would reconcile with my sister, Terry. My sister and I had a falling apart many years ago, and it was not a secret to our family. While papa may have understood where I was coming from, I knew that deep down in his heart, he would still want all his children to get along well. Wanting to make papa happy as he neared his death, I made that promise. It has been a year, but I still have to fulfill the promise I have made. I pray that the good Lord bless me with good health and a lasting job. I would want to help Terry send her kids to school because I know she has been struggling financially. But I would like to think that by giving gifts for nieces last Christmas, I have taken baby steps towards that goal of reconciling with Terry. I would want to establish a relationship with my nieces. I don't want them to grow up thinking that I don't care for them, because I do.
