I had many long conversations with my sister yesterday, and I’m glad I could talk to him. I’ve listened to update me on everything that happens in his life, and I’m glad I chance to learn about it. It has a lot of things. I also learned about his position on the last run, she has had with the father, and where she is with Mom, Dad and me. It is always iffy on Mom and Dad … baffled by the way they really are … but it is on good terms with me. It has its problems, but overall, it does not blame me for anything. I’m really happy to hear that, to know that I have a sister. She even talked about how she will try to do more time with his family by changing churches and letting go of some of these responsibilities, and she even included me and my family in these new plans . That felt really good. She was also very pleased that I had called just to talk and see how she would do after the last incident … he’s very happy to know that I care, as well. So it is an excellent new events.
The other day, as Maggie & I were on my bed ready before flying out of town for the week, she asks me
"When you have a baby did you live with your mother?" I said yes. Then she asked: "when you were most important to you live with your mother?" Again, I answered yes. Then she said, "when you were …" she’s hand motions and the length of my body, now you live with me. "I agree. And then she said:" See Mom, I have good memories. "
