Kilbroney 2

I’ve been organising photos and I found this one I took the last time I hiked at Kilbroney:

Today is Mother’s Day in the US. My mom is at my sister’s in Virginia for my niece’s and nephew’s graduations. My sister and I don’t get along so I won’t be talking to mom for two weeks. Mom's not great with cellphones (me either).
It is hard for me to fathom the depth of my sister’s hatred for me. I’m not perfect but I don’t deserve the awful things she’s said to me and years of hostility. We all have our crosses to bear; mine is my sister’s undying hatred. She’s my only sibling, so it’s pretty sad to lose that connection. Not my choice, but I also understand that there’s no point in seeking reconciliation with someone whose anger is toxic.
