I would like my sister Clarine to come home for a visit at Christmas.

She is very dear and hardworking. She looked after our mother, father and sister when they were ill, before they passed away and has never had a real holiday since. She has not been home since 1996.

She has been very unfortunate in her workplace.

She has not been well a few months ago, and I know she would enjoy Christmas at home to relax, not having to fix all the Christmas trimmings for herself, as she had for many years now.
