I admit I don't think I've ever had mincemeat pie. If I had, I'd remember it, right? I admit today ended up being better than I was prepared for. "Sister A" and I worked together to get our grieving sister organized, calling Social Security, Life Insurance, banks, etc....Sister A went to the mortuary to get the death certificates and I picked the boys up from school. I admit "Sister A" has organizational skills that surpasses mine or our grieving sisters, and she got our sister totally organized (she brought file folders, hanging files, even a file box, labels....everything needed to get her paperwork together). She also cleaned the house from top to bottom. I admit she was very gentle with our sister and I found myself really glad she was here. I admit the trunk of my car is filled to the brim with my BIL's clothes, which I'll be donating to a local clothing bank this week. I admit despite "Sister A" estranging herself from the family for 6 years, the taboo topic of "why" was not brought up - our entire focus was on what our sister needed. I admit I thought that was pretty cool. I admit "Sister A" is going back home (southern california) early in the morning and I have no idea when I'll see or talk to her again, but I found the gratitude I wasn't able to feel earlier. I admit, thank you for indulging me in these recent admits. I'm finding it helpful to chat up my thoughts here. :)
