so a few years ago, when i was pregnant with kai, my little sis came to live with us for a while. she was having some really hard times at home, and dave and i let her come stay with us. well, her problems (naturally) continued through some very awful behavior. we didn't know the root of her trouble, only that she was completely out of control. instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to start over, she continued to steal and screw around. we knew she'd have some trouble, but when she put herself at risk, i shocked the hell out of her by throwing her out and sending her back to my mother. she didnt' get to see kai being born and i couldnt' talk to her for months because i was still so angry with her over how she endangered herself so badly. anyway, it was a good move, and she cleaned up and managed to graduate highschool on the honor roll. apparently the fact that even dave and i couldn't tolerate her shit caused her to seek counseling. i'm extremely happy about that. so you know what she did this time? she's bought and is shipping just about $1,000 worth of stuff for my babies. she got the chance to repay us for helping her see the light and she JUMPED on it. i'm so happy. she's also coming out here to witness the birth of her namesake. we're all very excited.
That's great! You must have good Karma. Doesn't it just make you feel good to know that you've made a difference in her life?
Awww, that's fantastic. She sounds like a sweetheart. *sighs* Now I'm really missing my little sister. *sniffs*
i love my sister more than anything. yeah, she's still a bit nuts but in a good way. she's got the best heart and always has. i'm supremely happy that i made a difference and helped her. hell, she's still only 20 years old!
Thats really good - it does alot for a person to turn around - well done for forgiving her as well - i know alot of people who wouldn't.
i was super heartbroken when she screwed us so bad. but i knew she was having problems when she moved in with us so i ate it, you know? but when she really endangered herself, i lost it. but i'm not a grudge holding type. nothing is solved by a grudge. but at the same time, i AM a hardass when i have to be. people just tend to forget that.
My little sis is 18. She's away at university right now. I love that girl so much and I'm so proud of her! I chat with her on my messenger often, we send emails to one another a lot, and occasionally she comes home on the weekends, but I really miss her! Here's a pic of the two of us...I'm the one on the right obviously. She (my sister) is slouching down as usual. She's actually 3 inches taller than I am. Anyway, uggh, sorry for the huge pic. I've been trying and trying to resize it and I'm not having much luck with this one.
Thats awesome KC, that she wised up and realized what she was doing. And I think that is beyond wonderful that are such a caring sister... My sister would sell my soul for her just to have a dollar (im serious) She is an awful, awful person who has done damaging things to my life..if you knew her you would understand grately So, it makes me happy to hear how others get along and have a special bond (that no matter what happens) they will be there for them and do what it takes to help them...Ya know..and that the other one appreciates what they did for them... and hippychick, thats a cute pic...!
