I appreciated hearing your thoughts and perspectives. What you described of your relationship with your sister sounded very similar to the dynamic between my sister and I growing up. I smiled and winced a bit. Your gentle lens helped me understand some of the patterns in my own family history with greater compassion. It also helped me see myself with softness instead of shame. Thank you.

Yes - my sister read this as well, and what was super interesting is that she remembers it with love, not so much the confusion I saw in her eyes (40 years of time in between might help as well) - what a tricky thing, life, eh?

Oh, indeed. How interesting that your sister remembers it more with love. It’s so beautiful when you can consider each other’s perspective, and be okay. 💜
