I find it fascinating to get a window into other "sister relationships," and my heart fills reading about yours, Julie.
I have three sisters and love them dearly, but we barely know each other as adults. Outside of two video calls, we haven’t seen each other in many years...and they feel closed off from me in a way. I love my family more than I know how to love, but have much grief at our inability to connect more deeply. It’s as though we speak entirely different languages or are from entirely different planets.
Dana, it makes me sad to hear that. It’s no wonder you’re so good at building community. I sometimes use my family as a safe place where I can hide from the rest of the world, though. It kind of feels like social-cheating.
The last line is without a doubt hilarious! And all funny things have a kernel of truth. It sounds exactly like something I would say to my mom or an exchange between friends laughing over breakfast. That’s how it hit me anyway.

My sister is my best friend and have the same guilt for my daughter. Her brother is very, very cool though xo
