The girl in the middle is my other beautiful sister. Meet Ashley. It's a long story. It's a very long story. Sometimes having a sibling from a different mother or father can be weird. It was her birthday the other day, and we went to dinner to celebrate her. It's clear to anyones eye, that she belongs to, "Us,". If there is someone to blame for all of the distance, and the missed birthdays and Holidays, over the years, it's our Father. It all started with him. See, though he is no longer around to witness our attempt in building a better relationship with our sister, he should have known better. Everyone wants to belong. Everyone deserves a family. Everyone matters. We are all grown adults now, and whatever was left undone, can never be rectified. I'm not even going to attempt that. What I will say out loud to anyone that is paying attention, is this. The one opportunity that presents itself in our lives to build bridges, and mend fences, should be constructed carefully.

The, "No child left behind," slogan is better used to cement children from different parents with their siblings. Every human deserves a family connection. Siblings have a purpose. Sometimes, we have to learn who we need to be for them to help us discover the beauty of what importance we will play in each others lives. Somethings just have to be done so that the Universe can have balance. What's so ironic is, she acts just like Raenee and I. I am certain that she probably doesn't even realize it. Happy 27th birthday little girl. We owe you at least 27 more.
