This sister business is interesting!
I have the power to make my sister cry. I did not know that. It was good crying. You see I let her know that my mom (our great-aunt biologically speaking) would like to talk to her. I think she’s leary of mom because of the fact that she is still in contact with Jeannette. She asked why? I told her it was because they (mom and dad) wanted her. They didn’t get to keep her because their dad came to get them, but they wanted her. She had to pull over (she was in the car). She just started crying! I was very much OH NO!! But she explained to me that other than her dad, no one ever wanted her (in her mind). Now she’s finding this family that actually did want her, cared about her, and thought about her. She was overwhelmed in a good way. And yes, she wants to talk to my mom.
And in other news… We’re tentatively planning her to come down here in October for a visit.
These are all such good things. The downside is, she has to call so late due to the fact that she’s in night school, my bible study has gone down the tubes. I’ll catch up this weekend, because I really need to get back in the Word, I can feel it.
She asked if she was calling too much (nearly every night). You see, she read that siblings typically talk once a week. But she decided that she can’t get to know me in just once a week!
I know we’re in the “honeymoon stage.” But man it feels good. She’s now calling me my sister in an identifying way. And Jay, her brother-in-law. That feels really really good.
And right.
