...gosh, I'm sure there are far, far worse parents in this world than mine. The thing that just got so damn interesting, out of the blue, was the clear delineation between the younger two of us and us older two. Certainly it's been there for ages, but it just came up recently. It's neat that they are so unburdened by this, so emotionally healthy about it.
My sister is dealing with cancer and she knows her mom is not going to be the one that will be strong for her; little sister will be. She knows dad will be oblivious to much of this and me and bro will be the ones who will be the eternal sunshine, that it will all be fine and joke about it.
For whatever reasons, which I want to learn, the younger two long ago gave up and are realistic and accepting. Us older two are resentful sometimes. It's
an interesting dynamic.
