msjessica's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - When we first got the news and in the weeks that followed she kept talking about my sisters 40th birthday. Like it was a date she had to make. For as long as I’ve known I’ve been told stories about when my older sister was born and how both she and Mum were sick. My sister was jaundiced, liver trouble. They thought they might lose them both. My sister has struggled with so much. She’s been a general amazing over achiever but she struggled with touch and with connection with our parents. Those days following her birth were obviously a hard time. Both of them sick. When we first got the news this date, my sisters birthday, felt far away. We didn’t think she’d see it. I feel her near me. Mum please hold on and let me see you again. 2:27 a.m. - 2018-05-24 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
