My Sister

As excited as I am about my new nephew coming, it also reinforces something that just really breaks my heart. That would be my relationship with my sister and the place she gives me in her life. We have never been close but I really thought that would change as we got older. It really has not and not from lack of trying on my part. I know that when I pray for God to help me with certain relationships, the one with her is the one I think I pray the most about. I called her last night to share in the excitement and talk about coming to meet baby Will...all she could talk about was the other people that were coming. It was almost as if it was more important that they would be there than me coming. She's funny like that...with my parents also. Everyone else is more important to her than they are. Which is absolutely crazy after ALL that they have done for her and will continue to do for her. She she expects it from them. It kind of drives me crazy. My parents are 2 of the most important people in my life and I can't stand to see them hurt. The craziness that went on when Drake was born broke my mom's heart. I just hope she is different with Mom and Dad this time. I still pray that one day she can learn to appreciate me and she and I can be close. There are things we have been through together that no one else can share with us...I just pray for the patience to deal with the bad treatment and to love her anyway.
