Just another day! I guess I am grateful. I am not angry. I am not hungry, well maybe. I am not tired. I am not lonely. So, why am I bored? I am going through a time of reflection again. Crazy as it seems, I had a dream that my older sister was dying & that in her pain & suffering she didn't want anything to do w/ me. Very strange. Anyhow, I live about 900 miles away from her & don't plan a visit any time soon or to call her or anything--maybe I should. I need to make contact w/ her some way as I am disturbed by the dream. I know that some dreams have meaning & some don't. Just a little bit of thoughts from me. Next time I will have more time to be on here.
Sometimes dreams are prophetic and sometimes it is just emotions working themselves out in us....
I have a terribly , abusive, older sister who absolutely has become a trigger b/c she loves that much to push my buttons
Sadly for her, she has cancer and has been fighting it and surviving for 20 years....However percentages will be in her disfavor at some point and she is going to want to reach out to me
For me it is over....#1 she broke any family bonds we may have had and although I will offer a prayer for her I will not leave work, not get paid, pay for trip to Calif. from Tex. to see someone who hates my guts..
I feel sorry for her daughters, 2 of whom don't really like her either..The youngest one does , but even she supports my needing to stay away from this woman
I just don't look at end of life like normal people do, I guess....It is just the end of THIS chapture and the beginning of a new one...
Had she treated me like a human being and not been so vicious and cruel in her attacks to me, I would, when that day came, MAYBE make the financial sacrifice and effort to see her, but b/c of her treatment towards me, that (visit) is never going to be an option....
If you have an even decent relationship w/your sister, and it has't been broken like mine is, I would, IF it is safe for you, maybe check up on her???? Like that is a very powerful dream...I do hope that whatever happens, you know you have us to support you...
Take care
