What to Say in a Note to Reconcile With Sister.?
My parents are visiting and we will be getting together so I'ld like to take this chance to reconcile with my sis. We haven't spoken in a few years. I don't want to grovel or sound needy but I do want it to be meaninful. A food gift basket is good since my parents will be staying with them. I just have trouble putting words together. Please just serious caring answers. No put downs. Thanks in advance. These are 4 beautiful answers so far. I'm going to incorporate all of them. Many Blessings to all of you! BTW I may not be able to pick just one BEST ANSWER. Well I sent her a centerpiece with flowers and candles yesterday with a note. It read; " I'm ready to put the past behind us and get on with being sisters. How bout you? A sister is a blessing I miss having in my life." I just found out the flowers were delivered yesterday and she did get them. But she hasn't e-mailed me or called. You think she's still mad at me or what?

- How about something like "I am ready to put the past behind us and get on with being sisters!" Good luck!
- "A sister is a blessing that I miss having in my life."
- Forget the note, gift or any other thing. Call her. NOW! Just tell her no matter what the issue was between the two of you that you love her and need her support as a sister. Forget the pride thing. She is your sister and sisters fight and have differences. No-one will understand you better because although you had different circumstances you were raised in the same family. Good luck! Now CALL HER!
- This is a good opportunity for you to practice the art of forgiveness and extend grace where needed. Who's to blame for the fractured relationship is irrelevant,what's most important is that someone (you) are interested in reconciliation. Perhaps you could simply express regret and sympathy regarding the breakdown in your relationship. Like, "I'm sorry for the distance between us emotionally. This isn't what I imagined our grown-up sibling relationship would be like and I'd like to do whatever I can to change it." No blame needs to be assigned and she'll feel valued at the thought that you want to be connected to her. Seek her input on what can be done to improve your relationship and then you'll both feel ownership and accountability for the future. I'll be praying that your situation improves. Blessings. updated: Good for you for taking that leap! Leave the rest of it in God's capable hands. If you really want to leave the past behind you, then model that for your sister. She may be taking time to process her own feelings and wondering how she should respond to you. All the best in healing your relationship.
