i am the oldest. i am supposed to be the protector, the responsible one, the shoulder to lean on. so why am i so helpless to keep her from deep, soul-numbing hurt?
but how do i protect my sister from heartbreak?
how do i protect her from people and circumstances that no one can predict will end up slapping her in the face?
how am i supposed to take the brunt of the pain for her? how can i stop life from teaching her painful but necessary lessons?
she's so open, sweet, and forgiving. which is why it shatters my heart when things like betrayal and bad hookups continue to happen to her. she doesn't deserve this. i just hope that she doesn't let these things take away the goodness and caring that sparkles within her.
that would be a loss i couldn't bear.
