We Were So Close to Ruining Her Life

Alexis started with the harassment super early in life.

"I want a brother or sister."

"When can I have a brother or sister?"

"I neeeeeeeed a brother."

"My life is a complete disaster because you have not delivered on that sister I requested several years ago."

She may not have exactly said all of those things, but she came real close.

It's going to be a few years before I tell Alexis about how those constant questions and demands cut straight to the core. Right now she doesn't need to know that she was stabbing at a sore spot. All that matters is that she swore she wasn't meant to be an only child.

She was correct, of course. She definitely wasn't mean to be an only child.

I mean, seriously.

Every day I'm thankful that Alexis continuously proves that she's better as part of a set.
