My older sister called me from HongKong this morning and I was very happy to hear from her. After I told her that I need some warm clothing, immediately she sent me 2 packages. The mail is not cheap, and she already spent over US$100 just to mail me the two packages. I am very grateful to have my older sister to look after me. Without her support, I would have never been able to join the Peace Corps.
When we were young, my sister and I were always together. People sometimes had mistaken us as a twin. I was born with a bad temper. Many times, when we fought, she often gave up and let me win. Sometimes I even made her cry…and I regret it deeply every time when I recall those moments. I wish she would hit me, do anything to punish me, but she never, just did not say a word and left me alone. It made me feel so guilty afterward.
As we are older now, I try my best me not to lose my temper with her. Even when she was wrong, I just kept my month shut. I often pray for her, I ask God to take good care of her. In exchange, I will give up anything God wants, even my life…. And I mean it too.
