Day 4: Your Sibling
Dear Charese,
There are so many things I’d like to tell you, but with recent events it seems it’s harder and harder to get through to you. I know that you love me, and I know that you care, but actions speak louder than words. Now-a-days you’re never here for me, and I can understand that… You’re living your own life, you’re experiencing things that you should have done years ago. I get that. And I’m learning to deal with it… I’m always sad when I pass by your room and know that you’re not in there, knowing that you’re out and about with Jesse, and I’m stuck by myself. I love you too much to share, and obviously that’s not helping either of us.
But one thing is for sure, I love you. You wished for me. This is just the price we have to pay for growing up, I realize that I can’t have you at my side all the time, and that I need to let you go. You’re a strong woman, and you need to learn these lessons. I’m incredibly proud of you to be living on your own, finally doing something for yourself, it takes a lot of energy and strength to accomplish something like that. I just wish that you and I were on the same level, or at least in the same city…
I miss you and I wish that we could re-connect, sisters shouldn’t have these gaps in their relationship. I just hope that you see that, and hear what I had to say and actually consider it.
I love you so much Charese Rios.
Love, Jelly (Lil/Big- Sister)
