We = Me + LG
We leave for Atlanta today. We = Me + LG. My stomach is in knots at the task that I’ve taken on. No, LG isn’t a child, but she has been babied a lot by my family. It seems that now it’s my task to ease her into adulthood. Sigh.
My life is about to change. It’s not like I was running around spending a lot of cash on frivolous things, but her presence will still have a huge impact on my wallet. Then there is my privacy. I’m so used to being alone, the adjustment is going to be hard. It’s not like she’s a roomie and I can just shut her out. She’s my sister. My sister who is dealing with the same degree of loss I am. She’s also quite sensitive. Ay yi yi!
Sacrifice is something you do for those who you care about, but I must admit that this level of sacrifice scares the hell out of me…Or maybe it’s not the sacrifice, it’s the level of responsibility.
I’ve never really been responsible for anyone besides myself and maybe a pet. Now I’ve taken on the task of raising a kid. I know she’s not a little kid, but she’s still quite innocent and naive.
I guess I’m not a Toys R Us kid anymore…
Hello all, I’m LG. I just want to say that I love you sis and I know ur making a big adjustment for me.
Now you decide to read my blog? Geeesh! I love you!
You two are cute! “Everything has got to get better” ~ Donny Hathaway. And it will, I just believe that. As I’ve said, “The Lord will make a way, somehow” and I’m listening to Kim Burrell sing those words as I write this. Take care of yourselves and each other, ladies.

But it’s not the first time you’ve had her living with you, and she’s lots older now, been elsewhere, too. Not that I really remember how that time turned out. But even as private/nesty as you are, it might be good to have at least a single family member with whom to share your grief. Besides, I seem to remember you two dancing together a fair amount?
Anyway, good luck, you two!
Every story is a love story at heart. I know you will relish having LG in your space. I know she already adores being there. I know on some level we are all responsible for one another—it is the cost of love. And I know that I will love reading about the unwrapping of the gift, another chapter in your life, same as I have adored the others. Paz, amor y bendiciones
