The year we Grew Up
Do you think anyone would notice
if one day we were just gone?”
I was taken aback when the question
Escaped her lips. “of course they
Would! Mom and dad would be devastated!”
I answered feeling disgusted that my sister
would ask such a question.
“That’s not what I mean. Of course mom and dad
would care, I mean anyone else, friends?”
“our family are our friends.” “that’s what I
mean.” “ what? I don’t get it.”
“Kels, we have no one other than mom
and dad. We haven’t lived our lives,
made lasting relationships, loved another
with all our heart. If we disappeared tomorrow
what would people say about our lives? And
when I say people I don’t mean mom and dad.”
I couldn’t find the answer , I suppose it was
because she had a point. I couldn’t find
anything that the two of us had done that
Involved our parents, but up until this
point that never seemed to be a problem.
