Birthday and Blessings

Gracie turned 8 the other day and I see a very grown up little girl, so smart and sweet, such a delightful little person and I feel like I know her but I don’t know her. It is very difficult with family dynamics the way they are. It must be very confusing for her but she knows that I love her and always will. In her card I wrote “I love you now and always” because it is true. However much my sister hates me I am still full of love, she cannot interfere with the love between an Auntie and her Niece and a Niece and her Auntie.

I put a lot of thought into her presents, and I love the fact she enjoyed them. Her Mummy sent videos of Gracie having being allowed to open a small amount of gifts sent to her, I saw them via our Mother and it gives me hope that Gracie has not forgotten me and still loves me.

In lots of ways I love my sister, it does for many reasons cause me to detach myself from her as every year goes by as she holds a grudge against me for whatever reasons that may be behind her hostilities and anger towards me. Estrangement is a very strange thing. However judging by her losing her temper in the car that night driving headlong towards a line of parked cars while shouting at me I am in someways safer.

And in time Gracie will find out the truth, as nieces and nephews always do.

Here is a photograph of Gracie on her 8th Birthday, a screenshot from one of the three videos. Here is to love, I love birthdays and anniversary and celebrating good times. I am a good person, we are all made good and we have the option to : Be a blessing!
