Dear Tiff,
How goes the new house? I'm sure you just want everything to be put in place and every thing unpacked, but don't worry soon you'll be settled in and comfortable. Moving and packing and unpacking is always a huge ordeal. I'm so excited and happy for you guys, you should see me running around here showing everyone pictures and telling them that you guys bought a house. I can't Wait to see it at Christmas, hopefully I'll be able to stay over a day or two.
I'm leading a book club, I guess you could call it, at our place every Monday and we're reading the book captivating. I don't know if you've read it, and if you haven't I think you should, but this week was on daughters, mothers, and sisters. I have Read the book before, however I was disappointed that they didn't touch a lot on sisters and our relationship. Chapter focus mainly on mothers and daughters, however I think the relationship between sisters is something special, and different than any other relationship you have. Unfortunately I don't think I have the best relationship with you, and I kind of blame myself. I would not say we have a bad relationship, but I would like to get to know you better and I wish I had grown closer to you when we had still lived closer together. I see others with there siblings here and I wish I was at home and going to school there and that we had grown just as close as them. I guess you could say I was jealous. But I'm learning to cope with it and I hope one day that we can live close together and build a really strong relationship like mom and Aunty Lou. I do want to get to know you better, I don't think I know very much about you when it comes to your past. Through this book I've realized that it's important to know what people went through in the past even if you lived with them and spent a lot of time with them. I should know what happened, but I don't know your thoughts or what you struggled with. I think it's the same with me not telling anyone much about my past and what I felt through those years we were so distant. It wasn't just you I didn't talk to. It was everybody.
I know it's hard to have an honest conversation. I know it's not something you just sit down on the phone with someone and start talking about. Usually something brings about the conversation, however one of these days I will build up the courage to tell you my testimony and why I left after high school and what changed me during high school, a change that happened and is the only reason I'm still alive today.
Needless to say I do miss you and Greg and I wish I could be there to welcome you into your new home. Expect a home warming gift at the latest by Christmas if not before.
Love you.
Sincerely,
Yvette
