first i apologize to you guys about the length and second for the rambling. i just have had a lot of feelings regarding my kid sis. linda and i have always been close. but lately she's made some choices that have made her life hard. even though our relationship is complex, i love her very much! thanks for bearing with me. Dear Sister Amy M. Kennedy -dedicated to linda- you and i grew up in the same house we started out close then drited apart not a day goes by that i don't think of you no matter what has happened you're still such a huge part of my heart now we're grown up and things have changed but my love for you has not i don't think you realize how special you are or how much love in your life you have got i watch from afar as you go through life you are so full of pride, you are always right but i also know how wonderful a person you are and how hard you truly do fight linda my dear sister how many times do you and i gotta try you pull me close to push me back and then as you walk away, i see you cry but you say no we're fine amy we're just growing apart and growing up but i don't want to grow apart i want you forever close to my heart remember when we were little and how easy things were back then why can't we just somehow make it like that again i watch from afar and the struggle you have you and dad are now having a hard time but i watch the strength you possess and how hard you try...time after time but you never quite make it and i know you have dreams even if you don't why is it you always settle and sell yourself short i wish you could see in yourself what i see in you i wish i could put into words and that you knew so today i will tell you like i have before you are special and full of love just pray linda, open your heart and speak to the Lord above happy 21st bday linda.

Very heartfelt, Amy! I really like it! And I hope your sister liked it, too! Great expression of love! sp Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

Aimster~ This is so tender and beautiful, show your sister this because it expresses your feelings well and you can tell it is coming straight from your heart. My sister and I are nearly 9 years apart and we where not that close growing up beacause of the age difference but now that we are older, married and have children we are as close as we could ever hope to be and it is fantastic...so there is always time to be close it's just a matter of time and maybe growing as adults. HUGS to you hon Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

Our relationships definitely go through changes as we grow older. I remember similar growing pains with my sisters and brother....things will all work out and you will one day be closer than you even were when you were kids. You can't not be with the kind of love that you have! Denise |
