Terrifying Truth
Fear caused by
Sharing a father
Sharing blood
Sharing the same brokenness
But living completely separate lives
We don’t even know each other
Yet we have the most physical connection
You live your life
I live mine
Completely separate
Connected only by the blood of our alcoholic, suicidal, broken, father
How do you talk to Someone who shares your demons but is nothing like you
How do you speak to your own sister
Someone you barely know
Yet understand her deepest, darkest emotions
As you’ve walked two moons in her moccasins
But can’t seem to overcome the fear
Of walking a mile in your own shoes
Holding hands
With your own sister
Take the leap
For there’s nothing to lose
And everything to gain
The love of your sibling
A new person who understands your biggest struggle
A counselor
A companion
A sister
