What’s Your Prop?

Picture
A physical therapist told her patient with MS that it’s better to walk one block without a cane than a mile with a cane. In fact, she said, get rid of the cane.  
 
I think about my canes. Nostalgia is my crutch when I’m low. It’s my wistful, trusty prop that makes past love shine even when it mostly stormed.
 
And cake thick with butter cream frosting and crushed peanuts.
 
Nostalgia I can probably discard. Cake I keep.

Here's an idea for a blog article:
Please tell your readers the story about how you systematically undermined and then ruined your sister's relationship with, first, her son and then her daughter. First, tell the Story about how your sister lovingly invited you into her children's lives...even made you godmother to her son in 1988.
Please go on and tell the story of how after her daughter was born in 1991. your perceptions of your sister were so skewed that you began to tell untruths and half-baked notions that soon her teenaged children (& even her husband) began to believe.
It isn't enough that you took down your own marriage, you tried unsuccessfully to take down your sister's marriage. Please tell your readers why.
Your sister is not your mother. Her history is not the same as your mother's. Her emotional and physical well-being is nothing like yours or your mother's. You stopped trying to get to know your sister years ago. Now she is stronger than ever and trying to undo the damage to her family. Only people who are willing to be helpful and part of the solution are in her Family and Friends Circle surrounding her and her family with love and support. Are you?

Please do your siblings a favor and don't reflect upon your life with them in your writings. You clearly don't know enough about them to understand them. If you can not be bothered to answer the phone when they call, you have no business talking about their business.
