Resolutions

Last night I had a nice, long conversation with my sister. I decided it was time to open up and tell her how I feel about our relationship. I told her that I missed her being my sister and that it is hard to relate to my family in California and to trust her after all she has done to hurt me. Her response was priceless--"But, doesn't the good outweigh the bad?" she asked in all sincerity. The truth is that there hasn't been much good lately. There's not nearly enough to cover the hurt I've endured. We're different people now more than ever and it's a harsh reality. It was still nice to be able to talk to her and figure out how I feel about it and where to go from this point on.
