Merry Christmas. It would be a really nice gift this year if you would talk to me. My transition was the last nail you needed to finish building that fence between us, ignoring my phone calls and messages, but you were never communicative on our best days either. I hear through mom you "don't understand" and she has placed the onus on me to bridge that gap, but I don't want to anymore. I can't keep reaching across the gulf alone.

I love you. I miss you. I miss what we never had. I only ever wanted you to see me, connect with me.

Are you proud of me yet?

Hey sibling! Big sister here. I hear you, banging your head against a brick wall just hurts your head. There's only so much you can do. I wish everyone saw what I do in you... and incredibly strong, wonderful, empowered person. Watching you go through transition has been amazing, and I've been incredibly proud every moment of it. You've had the strength to be the real you, when so many don't find that. You're an inspiration to your community and me, and I'm honoured to share your journey with you ❤️
