When my sister dropped me off home last evening after the funeral, she used her oft-used phrase:
"You know where we are, don't be a stranger."
I've posted before about how her... laziness? means that she rarely visits me. And by that I mean steps across the threshold for a cup of tea or a chat. In the ten years I've lived here (anniversary in a few days time), I can easily say I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times she's made a social visit.
I gestured to my house.
"You know the same applies here, right?"
Not accusatory, just a suggestion. It looked like a lightbulb moment.
"Oh yeah. That's right. Good call."
And with that, we bade each other goodbye and I went into the house as she drove off. Will this make a difference?
