My sister is coming to Thailand. She has a work contract that will last for two weeks, and after it is completed she will stay for a couple weeks of holiday. She doesn’t know yet where she will be working in Thailand… it could be in Bangkok or it could be upcountry somewhere. But one way or another I will see her soon.
I’m pretty excited; I like my sister very much. We’re good friends.
She’s about ten years older than me — 58 to be exact. I haven’t seen her for three years, but the last time I did see her we went out shopping together in the afternoon and listening to some live music in the evening. Even at age 55 she could turn heads walking down the street. She’s the oldest in the family, and we’ve always suspected that she has a different father than us younger ones. Whoever he was, he must have been a good lookin’ fella ’cause my big sister has always been beautiful.
She tells me now that she is starting to show her age. She’s just about the same size as when she was at University, but maybe her hips have spread a bit. She says, though, that the skin is starting to tell the tale. Deeper crows feet at the eyes, dry skin on the neck that doesn’t look as supple as before. I’m not sure how old she looks now, but I’m betting it’s closer to an attractive 48 than an aging 58.
