Incest My Divorced Sister

[neerathemall]

The marriages I will if asked.

After my retirement I moved to the upper part of lower Michigan. They call it 'The tip of the Mitt' around here. Very rural, neighbors can be close or miles apart. Mine were not close.

I joined the Army the week before I graduated from high college. I left home and wanted to walk away from everything in the small town I grew up in. Including my parents. They were very conservative christians, judgmental and controlling, and I couldn't wait to leave their influence. My parents were pushing me away as hard as I was pulling myself away.

My little sister on the other hand was just collateral damage. I never wanted to hurt her but in order to see her I had to interact with my parents. My father more specifically. With the various overseas postings through the years and my stubborn nature when it came to interaction with my parents, it was easy to lose contact with my little sister.

She was just five when I last saw her, runny nose full of freckles and fire red pigtails. I could feel her tears on my shoulder as I said my last goodbye.

"I miss you already Petie," she tearfully said. Her words muffled as she pushed her face into my shoulder. "When will you come back home?"

"I don't know 'puddin but if you ever need me just let me know and I promise that if I'm able, I will do anything in my power to help you." I vowed.

"Anything?" she asked.

"Yep, anything."

"Pinky swear?" she asked as she held her little finger out to me.

"Sure 'puddin," I said as we enjoined our fingers in the age old contract of siblings.

We lost any kind of direct contact from that day until I received a brief letter through my APO address from Kerry announcing her high college graduation. In her letter she explained how much she still missed me and how she just wanted to hold her big brother again. The picture that was enclosed was from her senior portraits. She had matured into a beautiful woman at that point. The pose was her sitting with her knees sideways, feet under her butt in a field with flowers surrounding her. The modest gown she was wearing did it's best to hide her body but I sensed a very shapely woman under her electric blue gown. Her hair was long, full and wavy. And still very red. Her face was still covered in freckles but they had faded somewhat from her little girl face. I fell in love with her again as this link from my past was revealed.

But that was seven years ago.
