Old memories resurfacing

I found out today that my brother is moving from Ontario to here in Alberta. My mom has been discussing with him for a while now about making the move. I'm truly happy about having him closer as its been many years since I have seen him. But with this move comes old memories and securities. You see he was the kindest when I was first diagnosed with alopecia and in fact he was the one that told all the kids at school that I was Bald and wore a wig. I know we are now adults and have fought our own personal battles. But that little girl inside me is still on edge. Today was the first day in five months that I put on a wig when I went out for the day. My confidence was definitely shaken today and he is expected in on Wednesday.

It’s not compulsory Terri. I would do anything for my mum, but she would always want to fit in with what’s convenient for me. We think alike in that respect. My siblings are not all quite so considerate, but they know better than to treat me like a doormat.

So just a quick update....I finally had some time off to make the trip out this weekend and visit with my brother. Things went well. We spent some time alone doing some fishing. Caught nothing but did have a nice talk. We didn't get into too much history. He did say he is very happy that I have come to embracing my new identity. I guess time will tell as to how much history we will get into or if we just leave history in the past. We both have come so far in our individual journeys thru life.

It's good to hear that Terri. I hope things remain positive family wise.
