Siblings are the only enemy you can't live without.

My Sister's Flip
I had just finished the book.....amazing story! Was it a true story? I had to find out, so I looked it up online and sure enough! The story was written from the perspective of the founder. It was a true story about her life and how she came to do what she had always been passionate about. I wanted to go. I thought about how much fun it would be to go and even more so, how much fun it would be to take my sister. Our love for animals was so similar. I thought about it and realized her thirteenth birthday would be coming up in a few months. What a better present than to visit a non profit animal sanctuary.

unwanted marble
I was handed a marble. It's clear with curls of blue along its insides. It was cold when I first touched it, but has seemed to have taken some of my heat. It's hard and round, although its shape doesn't matter too much to me. I didn't ask for the marble, but I took it anyway. Now I can't let go of it. I can't even set it down without fear of it rolling away and never coming back. This small marble that didn't even exist to me over five minutes ago is already telling me what to do.

A Night In A Jail Cell
My sister Liz told me about a dream she had last night. She told me the cops showed up to our door, said to her, “You’re comin’ with us,” and handcuffed her. They put her in the cruiser, and off they went.

3 AM Feels
Past: Let's talk about sister's, the firstborn, our older sister. I bet you many of us can relate to this, the firstborn will always be like their parents, a mother or like their dad (older brother) unfortunately for some of us they treat you like a piece of shit and never once was there for you and never liked you and that was me the little sister.

The Big Brother and the Bully
I was 11 years old when I became a brother. My parents second child was my sister Rachel. I was so happy when informed of her birth, because all the kids in my neighborhood had brothers and sisters. It would get pretty lonely being an only child. so having a sibling was all I ever wanted. At 13 we moved to another neighborhood on the better side of town, and my mother was pregnant with her third child, Raleigh. Let me tell you this kid was tough. When I was in high school and would bring a friend to my house the first thing he would do was punch them right in the nuts, laugh, and run out of the room. This is when he was about three. Once when he was five a friend of mine hoisted him up and pretended he was going to put him on the roof, and Raleigh hauled off and slapped the shit out of him, leaving a small hand print on his face.

Excerpt 2: Beneath The Mushroom Cap
6am 8th December 2016 The morning comes, and we awake to an atypical continental. There is dragon fruit, watermelon, and a specification Laden omelette. Something which seems a little over the top, until they make you exactly what you asked, and it envelops me. That in this culture what you ask for, you get. In Britain I guess the best we have is to ask for an omelette and see what arrives, so much so that even the choice of variability in Britain constitutes as a favour and not within the rights of service.

Mix Well
I’m standing under the ‘Cake Mix’ sign in a grocery aisle trying not to have a meltdown or pee, both of which I desperately need to do. First, vanilla or chocolate? Funfetti? She never likes anything. Should I even make a cake or just get the cake mix for cupcakes? Can you make brownies with cake mix? Because brownies would be more casual. After that, THIS is the trick right here. She’s not even going to come, so you make as well pick something you like since you’re the one going to be cry-eating it alone tomorrow night reading her texts full of lies and bad excuses. And of course, why don’t they more prominently display where the restrooms are in this place??? I have 10 minutes left to finish this errand, $13.20 in my bank account, and 3 hours until Mallory presumably arrives at O-Hare Airport for her birthday weekend.

The Grand Canyon
My sister and I always wanted to travel growing up, but coming from a lower class family and becoming teenage mothers, we’ve never gotten the opportunity. She always said that she wanted to see the Grand Canyon but surprisingly that was never on my list. I wanted to see what was outside of our borders. I never wanted to stay in it much less see more of it. I’m 27 now and my sister died six years ago. I’ve never been quite the same mentally or emotionally but now I take care of her children and mine, gratefully. I’ve believed since then that I needed to somehow live and experience for the both of us, even buying those gross chocolate covered cherries she loved to somehow keep her alive. It’s like I think that buying stuff she loved would somehow keep her spirit around, knowing I don’t really believe in things like that. Which almost makes me mad at her for making me buy this god awful candy.

I got my tooth kicked out
We had a babysitter who was mean. I think one thing we held against her was that she made us eat tuna fish crackers - which we hated. Oh and she also screamed at us a lot. She usually made us play outside while she was inside. I think she was watching kid-inappropriate shows on tv and talking on the phone to her boyfriend. She was also our next-door neighbor. I would go inside when I would see her in her own yard. I did not want to interact with her any more than I needed to.

A Letter to My Sister
Dear Sister, Standing in the shadows wasn’t always pleasant, but I looked up to you. You were always full of creative ideas, visions and knew where you were headed. You always knew what you wanted and how to get it. I never had a plan for my life, I never knew exactly what I wanted. I just drifted through my life. You always had the lengthy Christmas list of wishes and I didn’t. I cannot remember a time that I ever wanted for anything. I never had a list, nor did I know how to create one. I still feel that way. I always felt like the outsider looking in at our life and everything that surrounded it.

CO-incidence or What?
My sister died last year on the 20th January 2019. She was in a home at the time of her death, and had not been well for some time.
