Lisa Marie

My big sister. I appreciate her so much.

Older half sister, but my sister none the less. 

Reconnecting with her last January, and being close this last year has brought me into a realm of belonging. I feel love, and loyalty. Something I am not used to. 

We are so mean to one another in my immediate family, and I don't want to continue that pattern. With Lisa, I feel free and an ability to change and be different. 

We connect about our childhoods and our attitudes. We are similar in how we view things. It is nice to have someone that "get's you." I've had very few older female role models that I feel I can fully trust and relate with. She is one of the few. We have to treasure them and let them know how much of a difference they make in our lives. 

She has taken care of me in so many ways, it is so comforting and so nice to feel like I have family I can fall to if I had to. 

I've felt alone and a lot of pressure for a while, but I'm not alone. My situation is different, but I am loved. I am lovable too. Got to get it out of my head that I push people away because there is a missing capacity of being able to be loved, so not true. Lisa helps me.

She is a beautiful person, has a beautiful family, and has influenced me a great deal. I have such a good time when I am with her. She is a good listener, but also helps me come to terms with the reality of my struggles. No sugar coating, but also a lot of comfort and tenderness toward how difficult it is - she understands, she knows.

Many many memories, she has known me since I was a baby. I need to have her refresh my memory and jot these down. I do look forward to new memories though!

Like Julie said, "she really made it for herself." 

Thank you Lisa for inspiring us. We love you. I look forward to continuing to spend more time with my big sister.
