I'm a little upset...(update)
As you may know, my sister has a disability (a physical one) and walks with cane. She's amazing and does everything, but she can be really stubborn when something is hard and she's offered help. So, tonight she has to attend a party at Danford's. Me and my cousin and my mom are all telling her that Danford's isn't the easiest to get to b/c of the parking and the crossing the street and stuff, so my mom is telling her that my dad will drive her. She's being really stubborn and saying no. I worry about her. She lives on her own and does amazingly well and the best thing is that she's really indepedent. But she has fallen a few times and I just worry and get sad. You think at 28...I'd be used to this, but you never get used to it and sometimes I hate that it's like this, that she can't just be like me. I know her just being this well is a blessing, but sometimes I get angry. I hadn't felt this way in a long time, but as she gets older (31) I worry more.
update: thanks, guys. she actually agreed to let my dad take her. she's a tiny girl...weather like this can totally knock her down. she'd kick my butt if she knew i was even sharing this or feeling like this...but i can't help it.
i know it's not stubborn per say...it's just that she's always determined to do it her way. Mind you...the girl went to college 10 hours away against my parents' wishes and was even in sorority...she always does okay. I just can't help but worry!
On a random note....she closed on her house today! The woman who cancelled the deal came back, signed again....and they closed this morning. WHEW!

Re: I'm a little upset...
it is only natural to worry about the people you love
I don't think she is being stubborn per asy...I think she just wants to live her own life...And as an adult i guess it is hard to feel that you have to rely on yor parents...
it must be hard for her

You are an amazing sister to be so caring.
I don't really think she is being stubborn. She probably just wants that independence.
Again, you are a great person.

Re: I'm a little upset...
that is so understandable being worried even after 28 years hunny. as to her being on her own, it is great, and scary i know. just try doing things for her in away that she might not relize you are helping her.
