Dear Karen

Dear big sister,
I am writing to you which would be a first in so long a time I can't ever remember writing in the past. I am sorry I have not called or spoken to you in a long time as well. I want to tell you I love you and I am proud of being your brother. At no time have you ever disappointed me or embaressed me. Rather, you have saved me some anguish. I still have your doll's - they are in the display case and I look at them every day. I remember the day Mom bought you Trixie. You were so proud of her. A 5 lb dog that made me feel like a monster. Maybe she sensed the monster that lived in me? Animals often can sense the wrongness in other creatures. I remember taking you up to the obedience school and how you gave 110 percent to learn what the instructor was trying to put across. I learned a lesson from that. Today I remembered what it was. It was your "never give up, never say die" attitude. That is priceless. My beautiful sister, you rock!

Your big brother
