Today, I got to spend a couple hours of quality down-time with my little sister- something that I seldom do. Usually, my sister hangs with my Grandma and barely comes into the office to see me... and even when she does, usually I am busy with my friends or with homework and refuse to talk to her. Today, my Grandma is in the hospital an hour away and she has been there almost all day. Because of this, I have had to watch my sister... and I have spent a lot of good time with her.
To start off, we ate breakfast together and had a rather enlightening discussion about what we want to be when we grow up. While I have the aspiration of becoming a psychologist, or perhaps a baker depending on where life takes me... my sister had the whimsical response of "a unicorn. a unicorn that flies." When I asked her to give me a more realistic answer, she replied "I want to be a princess who marries a prince and lives in a big pink castle with all my dogs." Then, she and I sat down to get our homework done. I took the laptop and cranked out my math and one of my blogs, and she sat at the kitchen table doing her writing. At 12:00, I took a break for lunch and made us a simple but delicious meal of mac n' cheese with cold cuts. We ate and then went upstairs to get dressed. As I brushed her hair, we had a good talk about how we want to be better sisters to each other... and be more kind and compassionate. So far, so good! We then took some selfies and recorded a few videos before coming downstairs to finish our homework. I'm not quite sure WHERE I wanted to go with this post... but family... family is important. You never know how much time you have left with each person... so you're better off letting them know that you love and care for them whiled you can. My mom was a prime example of not knowing when someone is going to pass away... she died at 38. I regret not being able to have had more time with her, and getting to know her better.. In the end, I don't think she knew just how much I loved her and it has stuck with me as one of my regrets. Please... PLEASE... Take the time to tell the people you love how you feel about them. You never know when your time will run out. Maddie ~Destroy what destroys you~
