Oh Julie….was so sorry to read this. I feel for your sister….she doesn’t realize she has family and siblings who love her. I wonder if the distance helps her justify what her father did and to see who you each truly were and are is so painful for her to notice how much she has missed. Imagine a little girl taken from her mom…her suffering had to be traumatic…as it was for your mom and you.

Thanks for writing…for sharing.

I wonder if a letter to her sharing your memoir….would allow her to open the door. You two seem powerfully connected.

I’m glad God has given you peace and healing….

Moving essay 🤍🤍♥️
