I so appreciate your honesty in this post. I’m struggling too with sisters who were something else once upon a time. Thank you for posting this. I will undoubtedly read it many more times.

Beautiful, painful and relatable. Love is so layered. I love how you write about her with truth at the forefront and let us feel the both the love and the pain, and the grief.

Wow. It's dangerous being "the favorite," isn't it? We can never be right.

Resonant and powerful and nuanced. I had a complicated relationship with my older sister. It helped when I came to the conclusion that no one actually designs their own personality. They try; they do some work or they don't. They heal or they don't. I wish you healing and peace, and I'm sorry for your loss, and the loss of decades that preceded it.
