I have tears in my eyes. My sister and I no longer speak. That was just so beautiful - words cannot describe it.

My daughters are 6 years apart and this

"My youngest sister and I have never been close. She is six years younger than me and for most of my chidlhood, she existed on the fringes of my life as a crying baby, a whining toddler, an annoying kindergartener."

I, too, have a house full of pictures of myself and my three sisters.

This post made me cry.

So beautiful and so true.

I have twin sisters that are fifteen years old than me and with who I have virtually no relationship. It's not the age factor either because I have friends their age. It makes me sad but I've given up trying to join their exclusive club of two. I've found my own sisters here and there, but it would have been nice to have a sister that likes me and whom I like.

Such a beautiful post (but I have no photo! Just and angry little squared-out "X"!). It sounds like your little sister really was paying attention to her big sister.

Really powerful. I am the youngest by far, half-sister to my siblings. Although I never thought of them as "halfs", growing up, I think they did think of me that way much more so. I'm a bit in touch w/next older than me, my brother who lives in Korea, but nearly not at all with next brother who lives in Texas, and not at all with sister, oldest, who lives in ...somewhere in California I think. I

Oh this is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I loved the photo. I have goose bumps after reading this.

2007-06-08T12:38:00.000-05:00

Wow. This is a very powerful post. I can relate to the feelings you have expressed. I am eight years older than my sister and nearly ten years older than my brother. As children, that age difference seemed like an eternity. We're having to work very hard as adults to bridge the gap. It is not an easy thing to do. Good luck to you and your sister.

what a beautiful post and so searingly honest. my sister and I have ZERO relationship. My choice after being hurt too many times by her. Wish things were different. Wish she was more like you. Wish I was more like you.

So well written, and what a darling picture.

So much of this rings true in my life - although there actually was a bit of distance wedged in between my younger siblings and I by my mom's resentment - I've built up relationships again with my sisters and one brother who are out of the house now, but I still have two bros at home who more or less consider me a family friend rather than a

2007-06-08T07:09:00.000-05:00

Beautiful story. I have a similar relationship with my twin brothers who are ten years younger than me. The angst I feel over it is nearly comforting to me because as you've pointed out, it means I do love them.

What a gorgeous piece of writing. Just reading it makes me look at my relationship, or lack thereof, with my older sister in a much different way.

2007-06-08T00:52:00.000-05:00

Very nice story.

My wife is the youngest of 3 sisters, her older sis' is 7 years older. My wife looks to her as a mother figure since their mother passed 4 years ago. She's been big in our lives throughout the birth of our daughter, family, etc.

And to think... 8 years ago - they were complete strangers
