Calling



It's Sunday night and calls are coming in from some of the siblings. Then I call some of the others. I need to hear their voices. Give them a pep talk for the start of their week. Make sure they know I love them.

And yet. It feels so incomplete.  I can't call Danielle.

I wish I could talk to her right now. I wish it was a different kind of Sunday night, at a different time, and I wish she was healthy and living her life and telling me about what her week was going to be like and updating me about the kids and reporting about a dance she went to the night before or telling me that Mom was driving her crazy or how excited she was to wear a new outfit she bought (and bragging about the size she wears now).  I wish all of that could be discussed during a phone call between the two of us. Now. I wish it could happen now. 

It feels so incomplete. Like I'm calling roll and everyone is saying "here" and then I call her name and she can't say "here".  

I will never stop calling her name.

I love you my beautiful sister. I miss you so much. Every day.

Love,
Michelle
