How Can You Be “Real” With Your Own “Blood”?
Author: siggyHow can you be “real” with your own “blood”–in this case my younger sister who does call me periodically? She called yesterday and I was extremely aware how superficial the conversation was. I asked my wife about that and her suggestion was to listen better. I think my sister has been on my blog periodically although she has never commented on one. In my blogs I write about my present concerns and observations. It is who I am. All she has to do is read it regularly. It is not that I am that prolific a writer. Most of the blogs are short. There is a reason I call my blog “Siggy’s Blurbs”.
I have another sister who I believe is stressed out with the responsibility of maintaining two households with almost no help from her husband. I could see why she might not have too much time although she is very prompt returning E Mails. There is part of me that resents that they won’t take the time to read my blogs. It is what is important to me at the time. I don’t know why it is so hard communicating with someone you have known your whole life. Maybe, there is just too much baggage accumulated over the years and it is very difficult breaking through that and truly being genuine with each other.
