My oldest sister drops in and out of the family grid, mostly out.
Brilliant woman, went to the best schools in this country. Extremely accomplished horse woman, was trained by Hilda Gurney in the late '60's early '70's.
Raises sheep and goats for fine wool and thread on 1600 acres in the mountains of North Carolina. The town they live in is named after her husbands family.
I work the trap lines, always willing if she is able. I continue to do this because I was asked to by my mother before her passing in 1990...I have no other reason than that to carry the flame to her. Our relationship is diffident at best.
It is odd how the positive aspects and burdens of truly gifted people, which she is, can play out.
