My Sister and Me

My older sister came down from Auburn yesterday to pick up my clarinet for her daughter. Yep, another family member is taking over the clarinet that has been passed down to me when I was in the sixth grade. My sister is back in school and showing the familiar face of any body who's in school. The frustration, stress, and fear of failing any of the many papers they'll have to do during the quarter. After venting to me about how she is a half a page shy of turning in her paper, we drove to get chicken and talked. This is special to me because growing up (teenage years btw) we didn't always get along. It was very seldom that we even hung out together. Looking back now just seems so damn pointless and I'm glad that I have developed this relationship with her now. She's been through some rough stuff, and mostly self inflicted too which she would be the first to tell you. I'm glad that she has decided to better her self and go back to school to learn what she can really accomplish in life. I had a great visit with her and the bear. In fact, the bear told her that she's his favorite out of my siblings due to the fact that she's the only one who comes to visit me out of the family. I'm just glad that me and her have a tight bond now and for that I'm grateful.
