For @-SilentWoods- only. Only she, or anyone else i shared this link with, may read past this. I don’t know if I ever told you this, but my sister’s adopted. I guess it never came up because she’s always just felt like my real sister, you know? Anyway, the reason I’m bringing it up now is because... she’s really sick. She has something called Huntington’s disease. It’s this horrible genetic condition that she inherited from her birth parents. Her dad left before she was even born, and her mom died from it when my sister was just a baby. I didn’t know much about it until recently, but Huntington’s is something that messes with your brain and body. Usually, it doesn’t show up until you’re an adult, but my sister has a really rare type called Juvenile Huntington’s disease. The doctor said it’s much worse when it starts this young. At first, we didn’t know what was going on. She started having trouble walking, like her legs were stiff, and her hands wouldn’t stop shaking. She’d forget things all the time, even simple stuff, and she’s been really moody and frustrated. I thought maybe she was just stressed out, but it turns out it’s all because of the Huntington’s. And on top of that, she has cancer. Can you believe that? Bone cancer. The doctors said the combination of the two makes everything harder to treat. She’s in so much pain all the time, and every day, it feels like we’re losing a little more of her. I feel so bad for her. She didn’t ask for any of this—her birth parents’ situation, the disease, the cancer, all of it. I just… I don’t even know how to deal with it. I’m trying to be strong for her, but I can see it in her face. She’s scared, and honestly, so am I. I just thought you should know what’s been going on.
