i've made peace

my sister and i have gone back and forth about this painting for years. we grew up with it hanging in our various kitchens. we both loved it. she got it. i hated that. she thought she deserved it because she's the oldest. i thought i deserved it because i am selfish. when she and her hubby were moving around and overseas it sat in a wharehouse. i wanted to save it. give it a place of honor in my house.
now it hangs in her living room. alone . above bookshelves. with a whole lotta white space surrounding. it fits. it is at home. i am at peace.
