Some of you may remember that my oldest sister Linda is seriously ill. Our other sister is getting married tomorrow in Houston where Linda lives so she can attend the wedding (other sister and her fiance live 2000 miles from Houston). I am giving a speech & toast at the reception from both Linda and I to our sister and her new husband.
It's only six sentences long and I have been practicing it over and over and have it memorized. Although I can (finally) get through it now without crying (it's pretty sentimental), my sisters and I are very close, and if one of us cries, the others follow suit immediately.
How am I going to get through this speech without crying? I will be speaking to my sister and her new husband and I KNOW she's going to be crying.
Any tips? Should I put a tack in my shoe?
Any advice is appreciated!
