Dear One,
It was so good to get your call yesterday. Your voice carried actual sunlight through the line (or, wireless iphone magical waves, or ... um ...) anyway- hearing you brought sunlight to my heart. Cheesy? Yes. True? 100%.
I have missed talking to you. I have missed being a player in your life. Somehow, to my ultimate shame, my own life loomed so large in my vision for a while that yours became all but obscured. forgive me forgive me forgive me
My own life has, once again, some big changes and challenges barreling down the pike but I want you in on it. And I want to be in on yours, which are no less important or monumental to me.
We didn't grow up together in the normal sense of siblings, and I know that has bothered you from time to time. I want you to know though that despite my, advanced age, I find almost daily a new sign of just how much growing up I have yet to do. So... the opportunity is not lost! And I look forward to sharing your mid-life maturation with you as well... decades from now... when it comes. ;)
Thanks for taking the time to lean in. This is part of what me leaning back looks like. Hopefully this letter will find you when you need to hear my voice someday, as I needed yours yesterday, and it will remind you of 2 very important things:
1) Your sister loves you with all her heart.
2) That has been and will be true for every moment of your life.
Love,
me
