My little sister Sarah




My little sister Sarah has seen a lot of struggles in her lifetime, to find herself and where she fits in, in this crazy world. I have so much respect for her it brings tears to my eyes, for I have seen her through some rough patches and now see her in her glory and I am so very proud of who she has become. I was the eldest, but as a preemie I was always the smallest. Sarah is by far the tallest and most muscular person in our family. She had a great talent for track in middle school and when in High School, she got rheumatoid arthritis so her joints started to hurt, and she could not participate any more. We really thought that sports, with her natural build and agility, could allow her to stand out in a positive manner. In real life Sarah has dealt with speech impediments, and being teased at school, being made fun of for being in special classes at school or needing more help than others. She deals with ADHD and has been medicated since I can remember, because when she is off of it, watch out naw! When we were smaller, she used to, as the baby mind you, pull my sister Emily and mines ponytails when sitting on top of bar stools in our kitchen. Sending us to the ground and chasing her shorty after, for any attention was good attention to Sarah growing up and not knowing how to channel her feelings and urges. She sits now in the other room, for we are all home for a family get together this weekend, and the only sister of us three is Em, at home now, but she lives her full time. Sarah lives in Hastings, the middle of nowheresville, with her transgender boyfriend/girlfriend, I am not sure. She looks like a petite girl in face and frame, with short hair and grown out armpit hair, I'm just going to put that out there. She is really nice in person, for I have met him/her, and she helped me fix my Honda when no other grown man could that I asked, so props to he/she!! I guess she, sorry he takes Testosterone and goes to "T-meetings" every so often. Sarah always gets angry with me when I use the term her, "ask her if she knows about subs" and she will go nutso on you. I cannot help it, and I am sorry! but damn she has a "female part" which ever word you like to use, so what shame on me? no one gave me a rule book on when your little sister decides to go for females and they begin the process of being a male? I am so out of my league, I love her and respect her and she deserves love, from whomever makes her happy, but this kinda takes the cake. If anyone else knows anything about this or wants to talk about it, I am an open book. I wish everyone peace and happiness and love, straight, transgender, male, female, goodnight, I am too tired for all dis...
