California to London

I met my sister on Open Diary many years ago. I was just a kid–fourteen, perhaps? We communicated through this website by leaving notes back and forth on our journal entries. I had always promised to come visit her when I was older. It took a long time, but I accomplished that about a year and a half ago.

I was thirty when I left California for the first time–alone–to meet my sister in London. I stayed there for two weeks. They are some of my happiest memories.

I finally understood what love and acceptance are.
