Letter Three.

Dear you,

Amazingly enough we're on speaking terms.  You're sober.  I'm proud of you more than words can ever say.   You have changed who you are and become a truly great sibling.   Not for me, but for you. I'm so proud of you, but you hurt me.  And I have to say what I have to say.
I spent months on end looking after you.  Thousands of dollars of fixing your problems.  Hours upon Hours on the phone pleading with you, mom and dad to stop the cycle and end the madness.  No one would ever listen to me, but why would they?
Here we are looking at a year and half sober.  You're healthy, you're doing so great.  And I'm so proud.
Please don't go back into the dark, ever ever again.  I can't take it. I missed you so much and I'm so glad you're back here with us in the present, knowing yourself again.  Because we like you.

Love
Sis
