Another visit…

My father and youngest sister are arriving today to stay the night (I have 4 sisters, so I sometimes have to refer to them in the order I got them!), and I have to admit, I am very nervous about this visit.  Not about seeing my Dad, if you have been reading this blog since it started, you know that he visited last year, and it went well, so that doesn’t worry me.

No, I am actually nervous about visiting with my sister.  Today is her 19th birthday, and I want everything to go well, I want her to have a good day, even though they are mid-road trip.  But it even goes beyond that.  I think it has to do with the fact that I have not seen this sister in 6 years, and I want her to like me.  We have talked over the years, we are on each other’s facebook, we have emailed and she reads my blog, as I read her tumblr.  She is a funny, witty, cool girl, and I don’t want to be the dull-as-mud boring older sister, I guess.

So here’s  to hoping that she still thinks I am cool, like she did when she was younger…

    I am familiar with this kind of concern.
    Have your best visit ever. May you have lots of laughs and meaningful dialogue and heartfelt connection.

    Thank you JB. It was a good visit. A chance to get to know my sister as the “on-the-verge-of-adult” that she is.
