Hi Lynn, I’m glad this story resonated for you. I suspect that the experience of diminished closeness with siblings may be experienced by many – how many families don’t have someone living far away? Of course, we are all supposed to grow up and live our own, independent lives, so in part this is by design. Perhaps the separate experiences my sister and I have had in the past 20 years will enrich our relationship in a way that would not have been possible otherwise.

Linda,
How did you know? You put into words what my sister and I experienced. We still live far apart, but now a daughter bridges the gap – emotional and geographic. The only difference? My sister has always been the better athlete of the two of us. By far. The hope lingers that one day we will be geographically closer.
