My one and only big sister.

Tweet

My older sister is 21.She has a child and is married I think. But,I find it weird that my sister and I are not as close as sisters should be. There was a period of time that I didn't talk to my sister for,maybe five years. It wasn't that we were on the outs,just that we had our own lives. Let me first explain that my family,on my father's side is very complicated. I have three half sisters.I don't have any other siblings other than them. My mother and my father never had any other children other than me. Also,all of my father's children have different mothers. Which could also be a factor in my oldest sister and I being strangers. The other factor is that my sister has almost always lived in Ohio while I have always lived in Pennsylvania. Not that that is such a distance that we couldn't visit each other,but I was young and she had her own life.And anytime we were together,she acted like I was second string and never paid any attention to me. But now that I am older,I would love to have a more sisterly relationship with my sister. Last summer,her and her husband were going to get a divorce,so she called my dad and asked for his help with getting her to Atlanta.My dad helped her and while she was living with my dad,we became very close.We had the relationship that I had always wanted with my sister.And on top of that,I spent time with my niece. But at the end of the summer,my dad and my sister had a falling out and she left for Atlanta.For a couple of months she didn't contact any of us.But after awhile,she contacted me. It's been almost 2 years since my sister and my niece moved to Atlanta,and we've only chatted on the phone a couple of times. It just hurts to know that my one and only sister can't make enough time in her busy schedule for her younger sisters.
