sister threads
2 years ago
My sister is 5 years younger. We were not always close growing up, which I’ve always felt was more my fault than hers. I took her on a trip to Paris in 2000, and that was a turning point for us; but she lives in California, and I live in NYC so distance and time differences make easy communication difficult. However, she was very supportive and helpful this summer when we threw a 60th birthday party for our mother, and I recently emailed her a list of tips for Martha’s Vineyard (which I thought bordered on bossy and know-it-all, but she was very gracious about receiving it.)
As the flowers of my friendships seem to be fading lately, I find it even more important to nurture familial relationships…
