nikki-
after i got off the phone with you , i’ve been thinking about you all day.
your sister is clearly making statements that she know will hurt, no buffer zone involved. so there’s a choice - either accept it or not.
it reminds me of a quote i’ve taken to heart, that goes something to extent of "we must surround ourselves with those that love and support us. who know us and love us anyway…"
i know i’m not your sister, and i’m not family, but i’m always here. i’m glad you are open to talk to me about this.
i think right now, i know you better than most people, or at least understand you better than most could. i know that you are doing good things. i also know that you have entirely too much on your plate right now. i know this will all be worth it. and when we are helping people and changing lives, one of them will write your sister a letter saying she is thankful you stuck with it.
we are here for a reason bigger than ourselves and bigger than our families, than our personal bubbles. we’re here to do good.
thinking good thoughts for you– love, k
