i got a letter form my beloved older/twin sister yesterday, and i held it to my chest and cried like a baby until our little sister came into my room and dog-piled me... it never bothered me when i was little that Nome was teh odd man out n our family, becasue mum and dad had each other, and Han and I have each other, but Nome is just Nome, by herself, no twin, no partner, and as i've gotten older, i realize that it's probably been kinda lonely for her... and now she doesn't know what to do with me since Han is going to be gone for another month and a half... i need to be a better older sibling for the kid... *sigh*
i went to sleep last night with Hannah's letter underneath my pillow...

It is tough to act as the oldest. You seem to forget the responsibility too quickly and end up doing somthing wrong. The comforting fact is, that if she loves you now, she will continue to love you for the rest of your life no matter what you do. Naomi has grown up better than I could ever hope to be, and she did that "alone". Even if you do not realize it, you have always been there if she cried, and she has been there when you cried. I don't think you could have done anything differently, but if you look back on your life and see an event that you should have handled differently, change that now; and remember, time heals all wounds. Of course there is an underdeveloped 15 year-old brain on this side of the screen, and everything I have just said could be hogwash in your opinion, but I hope I helped.
