sister a.

I can always count on her. Always.

She’s like the older sister that I never had. Only as I write this, I am realizing how little I really know about her life. I am wondering about the town she grew up in and how she spent her Saturday afternoons in mid-June. I am wondering how many siblings she has, because when I think about it, I realize I know only bits about her family, and her life—really— but I’m missing the details.

I do know that she fills me up.
