swapforjoy sisters
The Gachagan sisters
I have been completely and beautifully blessed that my sister is my friend, and we have shared an enviable sense of humour and optimism that has made just about everything okay. What needs to be mentioned has been her joyful willingness to be my balance throughout my journey. Her trusted arm is my path to the outside world. I am blessed and incredibly grateful.
She shared every minute and ounce of love and energy she had to include me and make sure I got to wherever I wanted to go and experience a world not always afforded to people when a big dis-ease diagnosis comes along. I was comfortable with the ebb and flow of everyone’s life around me. I had zero expectations. I celebrated everyone’s busyness and fullness. I guess I just got lucky she was my sister. There are no words to fully give my sense of gratitude to her.
She has always refused the label that she sacrificed for me to have a quality of life. Instead, she says clearly it was a joy to share so much with me. We have always laughed our way through triumph and tragedy in equal measure. We are undoubtedly spiritual sisters connected at a soul level. Together we have created and extended swapforjoy.
We have shared an inspiring journey, learning a lot along the way. Margaret Anne was happy to join what became a very different adventure than we had always thought life would be! swapforjoy was born from all our experiences. We found ways to manage, to change and to heal. They have become the tools of swapforjoy. We have always laughed our way through triumph and tragedy in equal measure. We are undoubtedly spiritual sisters connected at a soul level. Together we have created and extended swapforjoy.
