For those of you who aren¡¦t aware I do have a sister. She¡¦s my older half-sister (there¡¦s three of us that my dad had¡K.that we know of) by seven years and we grew pretty close when our dad died. (I don¡¦t know my older half-brother James too well. He¡¦s 14 years older than me and an alcoholic.) Over the years since then we¡¦ve kept in minimal touch. We never felt the need to do anything else and I moved a lot. We¡¦re close, don¡¦t get me wrong. We just don¡¦t call each other too often. If we ever needed anything we¡¦d call and things would be taken care of. But that¡¦s the way we are.
I was thinking about her yesterday and gave her a call on one of my breaks at work. I left a message for her telling her that I was missing her and that I live in Nashville now. Gave her my cell number and my email address.
Got an email just a bit ago from her.
I¡¦m an aunt! Again! She got married in 2005 and had a son not too long ago.
There are pictures! They are so adorable!
I¡¦ve threatened to drive the 9-10 hours right down there and sic my man-eating guinea pig on her for not telling me when it happened.
But it¡¦s really good to hear from her. I¡¦m kinda hoping that email will help us stay in better touch. And I¡¦m gonna try to go see her in Sept if I have a chance. Family is hard to come by. ƒº Besides, she the only sibling I have that I actually talk to anymore. My lil bro still isn¡¦t talking to the family.
I think I¡¦ll post the pictures of her and her husband on their wedding day, her husband holding their newborn and then a picture of Noah (my nephew).
