My Sister’s Keeper
Heartbreaking and beautiful. Makes me think of my sister and the love that can break and bind a family. Made me cry and miss having my family and friends around.
Why is it these days we all drift so far away from one another? Not only geographically. It kind of makes me think of Atlas Shrugged and the little town in the mountains where all these magnificent people disappeared to. That utopic idea has lingered with me for a long time, but rather than being composed of the best of the best, I dream of having all my dear, great friends living together. I have always dreamed that anyone I was close friends with would in turn be able to be close friends with each other. And in turn I’d be close friends with their close friends and that this town would be a community of great, close friends.
But perhaps it’s a complete utopic idea because I resort to believing that had space and time not ripped our friendships apart, we’d all still be friends. That it isn’t life that keeps us apart, but just distance and lack of time. And when I think about who I’d have around me at my very end or the very end of my loved ones, I can’t help but think that distance and time will keep us much farther apart than arms length.
