People who have beaten cancer are always filled with gratitude and happiness. But in today’s story, it seemed like the other sibling’s part in the family’s emotional journey was missed. This big difference in gifts made everyone in their family feel a lot of different emotions and think about fairness, love, and recognition.
They talked about what took place.
Last year, we found out that my sister has cancer. Our family has had a hard time, but she has had it even worse. I did my best to be there for my sister because I love her. Besides that, I did everything I could to help my parents. I took over all of my siblings’ chores. I cooked every day, cleaned the house, did laundry, and watched them more.
Lucky for us, she’s doing really well and just finished her treatment, which is great. We’re all thankful. It’s been two weeks since her birthday, while it was two weeks since mine. After everything she’s been through, I get why my parents bought her a new car as a gift. I was a little surprised, though, because I thought they didn’t have any money. Since last year, my dad has refused to help me buy a used car, saying that they don’t have the money.
He kept telling me they didn’t have the money to help me with the rest, but I didn’t want him to pay for it all. I would have liked them to help me save up. Hey, it’s my birthday today! For presents, my parents bought me a book I mentioned briefly and a $25 gift card to a place I like for takeout. They asked me what was wrong when they saw that I wasn’t too happy after I thanked them.
After telling them I appreciated the gifts, I said I thought they would finally help me buy the used car with the last $800 since they could now afford a new one for my sister. But then they told me I was jealous of my sister because she had just been through something very bad and that I was making everything about me when I should have just been happy for her. They told me I could keep saving because I had a job at the end of the day.
