Thanks Susie!!!
This was not our first meeting, just the first time my eldest daughter met her two younger sister (3 & 14) and it effected me much differently than our other meetings (when it was just the two of us) Seeing her interacting with her sisters, the same way I see the younger ones do at home, well it was really amazing.
She fit right in, didn't miss a beat! She is so clearly one of us it made it hard for me to look her in the eye and admit what I had done to her - that I had prevented her from growing up with her sisters, that I had stopped her from being a part of the family she belonged to. It was truly terrible and wonderful all at the same time.
We see her again, tomorrow - just before she moves across the country...I have a feeling that meeting will bring up many more untapped emotions.
