So my mother and my sister have not been talking for the past few months because my mom was showing her some much needed tough love. On Father’s day my sister came to the house and my mom and her talked a lot of things out. It became a very emotional day for all three of us. I finally had the chance to tell her how I found it not cool that she never calls or texts me to see how I am doing, but instead I am the one who always contacts her and I rarely get something in return. So we all talked and had a very emotional evening that turned out really well. Everyone got a lot off of our chests. Last night my sister came over after she got out of work and hung out with my mom and I. we again had a really awesome conversation. We mainly talked about the stock market and 401Ks, but we tapped into the war in Iraq among other things too. It is nice getting to know my sister again and hopefully she will soon realize that her family is the only thing she can always fall back on. I told her the day she realizes I am the only friend that will never screw her over and that I am the only person who will always have her back is the day she will realized how much she has grown and matured. That is the day I will be a super happy sister. She is my life and she doesn’t quite understand that yet. We argue and disagree on a lot of various things, but she is my sister, my blood, and nothing can or ever will change that. We still have the basic sisterly arguments and competitiveness, but that is something that we are both working on individually and will overcome sooner than later. I will keep everyone posted on our relationship and hopefully how consistent it will stay from here on out. We decided to make time once every week to hang out and spend sisterly time together. I think that will be awesome too. I highly encourage everyone young and old to do exactly the same thing. Family is all you have today so make it worthwhile before you create a regret you will never let down.
