On Being the Youngest

I have another sibling. The three eldest, turning out differently than expected, after a gap, you came along, with a challenging role to play - living with an ill father and grandmother while we were out doing “life.” And now you are stuck with all of us aging, and you get to be our executor (shh –  haven’t told her yet!).


You instinctively know what people need – from toys I would not buy my kids, to what I need to speed my recovery – in this case, Sherry’s Berries. Everybody should have a youngest sister!
