Being the older sister
Posted by Adie on September 3rd, 2010. Filed under: Family: At Home.
I never stop being the older sister when it comes to my siblings. When my sisters encounter a difficulty, even if they don’t tell me about it, I feel it when they arrive from work. I know when they sit down beside my work desk at home. I know even though they are silent the whole time they are organizing things before going to bed.
I know it because I am older and I’ve been there many times in the past.
And when I know that something’s wrong, I can’t help but feel overprotective over them. I can’t help but take over and try to solve the problem for them. I think it’s natural instinct especially since we don’t have a mother to fuss over us. I just pray I am doing the right thing for them. And that I am doing enough.
