Two kids, two lifetimes, a world apart

Fairy Godsister


Jade and Jericho are starting to form a relationship, and it's wonderful to watch. He calls her "Sista." She came to visit recently and he kept asking for her after she left.

I have a brother who is 23 years my junior. I wish I was closer to him. But I barely saw him the whole time he was growing up. It's hard to reconnect as adults, when you're so far apart in age.

I want Jade and Jericho to have a real relationship. What they need is time. Jade is making a point to see him as much as possible. That makes me very happy. The older Jericho gets, the more he will connect Jade with the rest of his family. He's beginning to understand. She's not a traditional big sister. She's like a big sister and fairy godmother rolled into one.
