"Beside a well, one does not thirst. Beside a sister, one does not despair." --Chinese Proverb
I can't think of anything else to write about now other than my sister. When my sis is going through any sort of change or pain, helping her is all I think about. I want to actually live in her house and be right next to her during all of this, in fact. I want to take her burden and carry it for her and stand in front of her to deflect all the negative scary emotional vibes floating around her head right now. If she asked me to break his legs, even though he is a decent, good man and doesn't deserve it, I would do it.
There have been times I have been scared for her life, have had nightmares for her, have felt that she was lost - almost too far gone from me.
This time it feels different. She has changed into a person who faces problems head on. I'm not scared for her, only impatient for her, waiting for her to get through this change, wanting to speed it along for her. All other loyalties fall aside, do not exist. If she stole a car and went on a rampage robbing banks across the Southwest or disappeared for two years in the wilderness or started shoplifting chocolate bars from WalMart or decided to become a nun or took up scrapbooking... (all terrible, horrible things)....I would find a way to encourage her depravities.
OMG - scrapbooking??? The HORROR!! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I will never EVER take up scrapbooking or become a nun. The others, well... I can't make any promises...
