Getting acquainted

So life has been a bit busy and I haven't had much time to write. So sorry for keeping you all in suspense! I appreciate your patience! We last left off with me getting to know my sisters.

Sisters. Such a new word. I have used the word sis, or sister before, but it was generally referring to really close friends. To actually use it in reference to a real life blood relative, well that is truly new. It's really kind of neat actually. Still feels surreal. I'm still getting comfortable using the term actually. I guess probably because most people don't know I have siblings or if bring something up like " my sister(s)..." to strangers they may ask me questions or make a statement about siblings, and well, I'm not completely sure how to relate or respond! I don't want to have to go into a full explanation like " Well I just discovered I had sisters, because I was adopted blah blah blah" That's too much to talk about and also emotional at the same time...so yea getting comfortable and talking about it is a learning process.

My sisters and I have been talking pretty much daily via messenger. Like most relationships, family or not, there are usually ups downs, arguments and even disagreements. Of course there are happy times, laughs, and good times too! Those tend to outweigh the bad! I'll be honest, things started off great, and there were a few bumps in the road, but everything has been good. I guess all sisters will have "sisterly moments" right? I really don't know what to write to be honest. I have learned quite a bit about my sisters though. I have learned that they both grew differently. And I don't just mean by household, all though that is one of them. But just like how you and I have grown up with different up bringing, so have they. We all did. We have different morals, and views on things. Talking to them I am learning all of this. As they are leaning about me too. There have been days in which one or all of us may go with out talking. And I'll wonder if it's something that I said or that was discussed that might have caused a silence? Or are we just busy with our own life? It's hard to tell when you just talk on line! We video chat from time to time, but not too often. We are in 2 different time zones and lead different lives too, but I know we do our best to make time to chat.

I wish they could come visit me, or even I could go see them with my family! Then we could finally meet! Well for me it would be my first time, for them it would be more of a reunion! lol It's a sibling reunion!! How wonderful would that be! We could really cry and learn even more about each other. Hang out, do stuff together, go shopping, get our nails done, go grab some drinks, have lunch, let the kids play. All sorts of fun stuff! Sadly it would seem travel is not possible for any of us at the moment. But perhaps it will be in the near feature!

(I'll gladly accept donations if anyone wants to donate to the cause! lol)

It's nice to be able to talk to my sisters and find our similarities. And to even hear stories of mom and hear about the good times. Feels strange, and sometimes I worry if bringing up the past may bring up sad memories also. I'm learning as I go and doing my best to retain it all. Right now I feel it's really about getting that connection with them. We missed out on so much of each others lives and we have so much to catch up on.

I'm really just getting to know 2 wonderful new people in my life!! 👭🏽My sisters!❤

I feel this entry is really short, because as I mentioned before, I really don't know what else to write about right now. But I'll see if I can come up with something! 😉

Oh yea and since today is apparently national sibling day....Here is a picture of me and my 2 sisters!! My sisters Patty is in Blue and our older sister Cat is in black!
