My sister recently moved to a big beautiful home in Southern Indiana..
All her neighbors are Amish...
So we are sitting on the front porch, talking, and she tells me about the amish neighbors, and that they stop by and talk all the time...I go, ''what''???? I thought we werent to speak to the amish, that would be rude......Boy was I deluded
About this time, up the road come two amish men, and two girls....
They were dressed in blue, and had on their hats, and the girls followed shortly afterward..They stood at the bottom of the drive, till we said hi, like they were waiting to be invited....real polite, and proper... Now keep in mind, as this story unfolds, I have never in my life talked to an Amish...So I didnt know what to expect...
So my sister says, ""Hi , How are You all''?
So then they all come up....I ditched my ciggarette, and cold beer.....real quick...and sis laughed and said, ""oh, stop that"!!!!
So the boys come up to the porch, and light up pipes...start smoking..so I laughed and said, ""what is good for you is good for me"" lol
Anyway, Sis serves them all iced tea.....and we all sat out on the porch and conversed for at least an hour...They were sooo cool...Humor abounds with them, they all had me laughing so hard....
They were joking my sister about her bright red hair, and said it was ''tomatoe hair'', (both my sis and I dye our hair, mine is black), and they said, sisters, huh??? your hair doesnt match...Lol
And they joked with sis 'bout her red hair, and they could throw tomatoes at her, and make it that red,,,and I go, '' Just remember you all cant get away as quickly''!!! Which made them laugh...
Anyways..... We had a great visit.....
My sister and I had a talk afterwards, about the abuse we suffered, as Jw kids....
She gave me some sound advice, which is to write my step-monster, and get it all out.....Just tell her the truth....and I think she is right...So I will be working on that...I still have to give thought to how to say some very painful things to someone, without being a bitch... What a delicate balance that will be.....I dont wanna bring pain on anyone, no matter how cruel they were to me...
Unfortunatley, she will not leave me alone, and keeps contacting me, in a bad way, meaning, she is married to an elder now, and is trying to pretend that everything is peachy....I feel she is trying to add guilt on me for the abuse...and I cant pretend anymore, that my childhood was a figment of my imagination....Like she wants me too. Over the years, when I have brought it up, she acts all innocent, and unknowing....Like all the slaps, name calling, etc, never happened...She is the one who gave me the name, ''Little Which"". She feels god loves her, cause she didnt utter the ''cuss'' bitch....only substituted, which.....sigh....
Anyways, sorry to ramble on....It was just such a good visit with my sissy..I love her sooo much...she is the only family I have, and has helped me so much....She will gently look at me with her pretty green eyes, and say, ""Look at me"",,,,, ""You didnt do anything wrong""....
I am so glad to have her.........
Sorry for rambling on......Just wanted to share.....
