Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.
Sister in law gave me my deceased sister’s belongings to me. Another sister had said she wanted them but they were given to me instead. There isn’t any item of value. As we grew Mary and I were always given the same exact item. Dad would get each a bracelet engraved. Mine was silver and Mary’s was gold.
What gives me a real shiver is the golden little legs which were on a jewelry box belonging to mother. Two were given to each. Now I hold all 4. there are only 3 in the picture…. Oops.
The entire box
Don’t know what to do with this after my time is done? Back to family who never even knew her name or how much pain of losing a sister age 12?
Truth is my mother blamed me for not taking my sister’s place when she said “you should have died instead of Mary.”
That part I will never get over? Yet I have done so much work around it. No woman in their right mind would ever wish another child to die in place of one tragically taken. Truth is Mary would’ve died anyway because her heart was swollen from a virus. But make no mistake I learned what hate truly is when my mother screamed that at me. No, you cannot pick and choose between your children….the ones you like and the child you don’t like, me. To wish me dead. Then she spent The remaining years of her life hating me. She just allowed everyone else to hate me too. But nobody understands why it started.
I don’t think my brothers wife knows the full truth about how much these items mean to me. There was this jewelry box, and a shoebox that had been filled with Mary’s schoolwork and the books she was reading at the time of her death. It’s strange because all of these items were taken from our shared bedroom. I just went upstairs and it was like Mary never existed because all of her belongings have been taken. Bed stripped and all her clothes were gone. I had just begun stealing pieces of her fashion and wearing it to school. I guess it’s sad that I got these treasures but it’s so good that I have them to share the treasures with who truly matter to me?
My brother won’t let me talk to his wife, so I guess this is my only way to thank her. Thank you sister-in-law. I mean it from the very bottom of my heart. If my husband ever forbid me from talking to anybody, he would get divorce papers within the week. Men to not have that right? Maybe she’ll wake up but maybe that’s all she expects from life….control is abuse. But maybe she’s just waiting for her bank roll when the estate is settled….. never know until you know?
