praying for healing . .

fighting mean bullies and sitting on them. . . 

telling them she will kill them next time if they try. . . .

smiling because my sister loved me with all her heart. . .

praying for healing . . 

having my father abuse us. . . 

beating us up and taking our clothes off. . .

doing vile things to us nightly and secretly. . . 

becoming siblings that feared our father would kill us.. . .

both of us having cancer. . . 

hearing my sister cry of the pain . . 

exploding and telling me to die a terrible death. . .

surviving cancer, once and twice. . .

discovering my sister Maria,

dying of cancer, not being invited to her funeral . .

walking randomly to any grave site. .

finding a grave, not looking at the name. .

imagining this is where my sister is buried. . .

repeating this from the goddess of compassion mantra.

    My word, Wild Wayne! This took me by surprise, whole body, mind, and spirit! The emotion MEGA-REAL felt unfiltered. The kind that you don't even have enough places to put it in. It feels inadequate to just say thank you for writing and sharing it, but THANK YOU! For writing and sharing your beautiful Sister and you, BIG thank you! ✨💕✨
