I told her about talking to my sister. I don't remember who brought it up or how it got brought up. She was shaking talking about it and my telling her about my sister gave her chills.
She said that my sister is now part of a sisterhood. She told me that the fact that my sister's cancer is aggressive is a good sign that that can really kill it. She said that sometimes she missed being bald and was amazed at how much her head sweat.
Kinda interesting. Thanks for your thoughts. I hope all will go well and she will call me. I don't know. Interesting how the longer I live the more empathy I have for people. We can't really judge some people's motives, love, or thoughts, only their actions. I'm glad I called her. If just to thank her for her actions towards me so long ago and to enjoy her tidbits about what I think is a good life for her.
I don't agree with her on most things and she supports a regime of inequality for her beliefs. She is probably the hardest Mormon for me to love and appreciate given her place in a Mormon polygamist cult. But such is life. The ones you love the most often put you in the most difficult positions.
