When I was twelve, my older sister, Annick, was in med school.
She was dedicated and incorruptible - always studying, always.
I wanted her to spend time with me, I craved her engagement.
I was jealous and mean to her, thinking her uncaring - uninterested in me.
Now, I get it. Now days, I seem to behave like a machine,
I'm busy and unapproachable - forgetting myself in function
and I'm just a lowly undergraduate.
When I think about how hard she must of been working,
I tear up, like someone hearing a sad song on the radio.
I know how you feel, I have been airbrushed out by my two older sisters who married into money. Your sister is unique, she is family, don't lose her.
