Dying To Live

First off, I just want to say, while I'm still able, that when I die, I already wrote my will. And you, my sister, are getting my most treasured possession. Thank you for being there for me, even when I didn't deserve you. You've been my teacher as well as my friend; and without you I wouldn't know what to do. I would go crazy. Did you know I tried to kill myself? But then I thought of you, and I changed my mind. Even miles and miles away, you're here for me. You are amazing!

Now I must explain to you why I sound so suicidal right now. I'm not, by the way. I'm just miserable. I miss you so much, and on top of that I have some...complications...that could be a hazard to my health. One of them is undetermined, but very scary. I'll start off small and work my way up. First, there is the epilepsy, which as we all know, is an unusual electric discharge that can cause you to lose balance, hearing, sensation to your face or consciousness. The electric discharge part brought mention that humans are like batteries. It sounds scary, right? But don't worry; this caused a very humorous night of discussion that I was leaking.
Next up we have the asthma. You know more than anyone what that's like, and on this note I want to apologize with all my heart that when you had your attack, I panicked and didn't know what to do. I am so sorry. I was in tears while you were at the hospital. Did you know that? I can't forgive myself and don't blame you if you can't either. That was just awful of me, and so dumb. I'm dumb.
Finally, we have the newer and scarier. While undiagnosed, I may have tapeworms; which are parasites that grow and live inside of you; and digest all the food you eat before you can; which leaves you feeling hungry and weak twenty-four-seven. I'm afraid I will either start "leaking" worms, or that I will die of hunger.

So now you know why I'm so upset. I just want to say that you have been the best sister anyone could ask for. And I hope you can visit. We could play GameCube, and maybe Crokinole, and maybe go downtown. I could reimburse you for that purple shirt and those black pants you got me! Or maybe some jewelry with sapphires in it, do you still like earrings? They'd look great in that purple dress!

Oh, and by the way, no snow here yet. I hear you've seen quite a bit of it...How is everyone doing? We're all fine down here; except L. took a fall and got bruised. And my arm is sore because he and I played catch, but that's about it.
I should go now, it's 4AM and I haven't gotten even one wink. Anyway, miss you lots! I want to write you a letter sometime. It's better than spewing my guts out all over Blogger; but hey, this was eating me. Or maybe it's the tapeworms. In any case, I have heard you plan on coming next month and I'm so thrilled! What kind of desserts do you both like? If I made fudge would that be okay? My goodness, I miss MSN. I miss chatting to you. :(
Take care, sis!
