“The biggest thing was that I wasn’t looking. I wasn’t planning. I was content with my life and the way things were, and then I spotted her in a crowd of people. This feeling came over me, and I knew I couldn’t leave unless I spoke to her. When I did, something became painfully obvious.” I remembered the feeling well because it was happening again as I looked at her. I took a breath, waiting for it to ease up, and when it didn’t, I continued, “I didn’t want another day to pass by without her in my life.” I made eye contact with both sisters. “I care about her. A lot.”
