Truce
It was indeed liberating that my sis and I finally lay our cards on the table about issues that bugged us for months. We are two very obstinate people and of course, by opening the mouth, instead of good endearing words, it would be filled with sarcasm and wrath, especially from my mouth.
I seriously need to change this stupid attitude of mine. It has caused so much unnecessary heartache. I swear I am going to change for the better.
It was a relief that we managed to talk to each other today without sulking.
I didn’t mention that, as I was spring cleaning my room during the five-day Raya break, it somewhat opened my eyes. I found a small card she made for me when she was hospitalized for two weeks for anorexia.
29 October 2003…
“Congrates. You have been awarded the Best Sister In the World…….You are always my most loved sister eventhough you eat a lot, borrow my $ too much…. If I had the chance to choose after reincarnation, I still want you to be my dearest sis. Thank you for being you…”
I broke down and cried that instance when I read the heart-felt words in the card. I know I would not have forgive myself if anything were to happen to her.
Siblings quarrel. But blood is always thicker than water. I will never try to find fault with her again, and as promised, I will take care of her under my wings, as long as I live.
