be a better brother

This has been an important goal for me, especially since one of my sisters has been going through extremely tough times the last six months. I’m happy to say that I’ve improved considerably, to the point where I feel confident that I will keep this up.

What made this so? First of all, moving out about a year ago (obviously) lessened the tension between me and my sisters, and we never argue any more. Secondly, I help whenever I can if asked, and generally try do be friendly and do stuff that I know makes them happy, rather than bitching. I can still improve somewhat, i.e. when it comes to calling them up for a chat every now and then, but that shouldn’t pose a problem.

This was a pleasant night at my folks’ home. Both my sisters were present, and we had a good time. Most importantly, my eldest sister was in a better mood now, which was very comforting to see. Better still, she just lighted up when I told her that I am creating a music compilation for her. That made my day.

I’m truly worried about my oldest sister now. She’s having an extremely tough time with her illness and I’ve never seen her as sad and despaired as she is now. It’s at the point where I almost fear for her life, even though I tell myself she would never do such a thing.

I want to help her. I want to take away her pain. I want to make her happy again.

But I don’t know how.
