Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Cas - bless you. You have NO idea.
My sister, marvellous though she is in her own way, wouldn't even drive two hours to see me in hospital when I had major surgery a few years back! It's not her role in life. She is the family matriarch and it's our duty as workers to go to the Queen Bee and scurry around like drones. You get my drift?
Ask for money - it's there. Ask for a two minute chat on the phone, you got it (I won the lottery the other evening when I got almost two hours but then she was home alone)!
As for her flying over to sleepy-ville, forget it!
She's lost patience with my H - I also think that she feels that I should lose patience with him too but tolerates my current DB'ing as she can see that it is helping me to move along, albeit very slowly. In her heart, I know that she is worried but she's not one bit demonstrative - I am the emotional, sentimental one and she is hard and practical. I take in the waifs and strays and she firmly shuts her door in their faces!
Two sisters have never been more chalk and cheese - we love each other dearly but there's still a 'distance' between us. I just wonder how different she would have been if I had been widowed and not that my H had left me.
