My sister called me today.  She really needed me.  I'm the oldest of four.  It's important that I'm reachable, supportive, and empathetic.  She told me her secret.  My parents would freak.  I love her, I do. I'm supportive, I am. I'm there, I'm always there.  I prayed for her. I support her. I hate that I can't take the pain away, that I can't solve her problems Consequences have actions.  They're not always good. I told her, just do what is right, I'm proud of you for doing right She talks about dad. I don't know what dad would say He would say pat yourself on the back, he's right you should I promise her things will work out I honestly don't know if they will work out I remind her she has a village, she has a community, she has love I hope love is enough I hope what I can give is enough I love you, I am sorry, life throws curveballs Here we are <3
