Journal Entry #3
November 26, 1999
First of all I want to wish everyone a happy holiday. I hope you all ate too much, drank too much, and laid around on the couch too much. I hope you were surrounded by good company or at least by tolerable relatives.
Secondly, I got an amazing email from my little sister today. She is fourteen and fabulous. It is so hard for me to remember what fourteen was like. No longer a girl, but not yet a woman. So many confusing thoughts and feelings. Trying to please everyone, but myself. A terrible time in a female's life, but also a wonderful time. It's when you truely discover the woman you will become and hopefully you take along a little of the child you were as you do.
The point to this topic is that my sister has an amazing talent. She writes. She has this ability to put into words things that others of us can't even get straight in our heads. Her words are so true and courageous that it made me remember that time. My lost youth. I wish I could share her words with you, but without permission I cannot.
She is an amazing person. She has this smile that makes you grin. A laugh that makes you giggle along with her. A heart that makes you want to be her friend. A spirit that makes you free and happy. She is my sister. She is my hope for the future. She amazes me.
