Hey – not sure
I am in the right place. Just Googled “World’s Greatest Sister” and this name appeared.
Is that you MJ? And about this “greatest
sister tag, is that a sponsored ad?
My memories of
this greatest sister think are mixed. “Mom, Dad, Joey hit me again” comes to
mind, and as I was being punished I can remember how bad you felt for getting
me in trouble, showing the sad smile that you fought to suppress…except when Mom
was not looking.
Do others know
your “dark side” after high school when you professed to be a right wing
conservative republican catholic. Then life changed when you found Bruce. Yes,
Born to Run Bruce, the Liberal Democratic Jewish kid from the neighboring state,
the friend and confidant of a young Chris Christi. I still remember stories of
those 2 trying to get to a gig in NYC…the traffic on the bridge was a mess!
Whodda thunk?
So, my trans-formative
sister….I did try to dig deep and see if I could come up with a few positive influences
you might have had on your family growing up. And I did remember one. You are
always there. For me after High school when I needed a place to stay in Hartford,
you opened your door. For Mom and Dad, as they aged and needed someone to support
them mentally and physically, you were there. And any and all challenges any of
us went through, your strong support, engagement, positive outlook and actions
made everything easier….regardless of what you had going on.Those days are not forgotten.
So there are
a few of us that are very proud of you, likely limited to your friends, family,
and anyone that has come to know you. Love you and we are always thinking of
you.
Gotta run.
See you around the neighborhood. Off to Google “Worlds Meanest Sister’, will
let you know what comes up!
Oh this was excellent! Tell us more, tell us more!
