My Sister's Heart

A failing heart had always kept me apart from the rest of the world. I had hopes and dreams like any other girl, but an incompetent body, so my dreams took flight in my ever wandering mind. My sister, Hilary, was pretty, smart, and popular. She shouldered the blame for my Congestive Heart Failure. We were twins, after all, and she felt like she was the cause of my ever progressive heart problems. I wish I could have noticed all of this before her accident.
