BEST THING ABOUT YOUR SISTER
SHARON: Carole has the biggest,
giving heart. She protects the weak
and speaks out for those who don’t
have a voice. She loves all animals
and always speaks on their behalf.
She is like a cat whisperer. She is
always there for me. She is my “me
too”. I said, I’m moving to Cairns,
“me too”. I’m going out to the
movies “me too”. She is always
with me. Side by side. Living this
adventure called life.
