It is my little sister's birthday today. We had a wonderful childhood together and were really close to each other despite the four year age difference between us. We were each other's conscience keepers and best friends.
Unfortunately, I must admit that as we grew up and got married, we drifted apart atleast a little bit. I don't know everything about her life and I don't share everything about my life with her like we used to. But despite this decreased communication, I still feel a lot for her in my heart and I can sense that she does as well.
In my list of things that I want to do before I die, I am adding a new item today, on my sister's birthday. I want to renew our friendship. I know we love each other and will be there for each other when the need arises. But I want more than that. I also want to spend time with her and have fun with her. We spend just a few days together every year and even then we are busy with kids and the rest of the family. At the moment, we live in two different continents and it is physically impossible to spend a lot of time together, but I want to atleast connect to her at a deeper level until I can. I know that we have the solid foundation of love and friendship that was laid during our childhood, but I don't want to take our relationship for granted anymore. Here is wishing my dear kid sister a very happy birthday and a life full of happiness, good health and love. I love you dear.
