I ran into my NP the other day. Totally unexpected.

I was in a shopping mall when I saw her. She didn't see me. I thought I will just discretely walk by. Then, I thought, why not say hello, she is my sister afterall.
So, as any good victim does, I stroll over and say hello.

Oh my gosh, she says, you look wonderful, how are you, you must come and vistit!!

I think, wow, this is not a response I was expecting!

Maybe there is a chance that things will be the way they should be?
We have a nice chat then I leave.

Then I begin to think.
This is the way it always begins. You are wonderful, fabulous, lets have some fun together. Do all this sister things together.
Then WHAM!! Who do you think you are?
The world revovles around you doesn't it?
We should build a statue in your honor!
Why can't you be more like me?!

Yikes!!!

I almost walked into a situation to beat myself up some more.
Bottom line is, I miss my relation ship with my sister, I want it to be different so badly, but reality says that it isn't going to happen.
I have grown, I am stronger, and hopefully will continue to do so.
