She goes by Elle now...but she was born Lisa Darlene. She's two years, six months, and 13 days younger than me. She's my polar opposite...she's short, I'm tall, she's thin, I'm not, she's brilliant and I'm average. She's a free spirit and I'm often tied to the earth by the ideals of what life is supposed to be. She's a gifted artist and I'm a wanna be...but the bigges difference of all...I'm nice and she's often not!
She's so many things that are wonderful and amazing but she's so self centered and self protecting that most people will never see the other side of her. Most people will never know that most of all my sister wants to be loved and taken care of. She won't find what she needs until she learns to give of herself also...Not just take.
I'm upset with her right now...she's upset with me. My mom is really sick, scared and Lisa and I can't find common ground. I won't call her Elle...probably I won't call her anything from here out. She's hurt me too deep too many times for me to invest anything more in her at all. However...my mind carries her with me every day and I long for a better life with her.
It's Ok Ara...she'll always be Lisa to me, too:0).
