When I married my husband, I gained a sister-in-law. She has been married to Austin's brother for several years and is a very nice girl, but I barely know her. She's quiet and we mostly only see each other at larger family gatherings, so our typical conversations are short and fairly surface.
Over the years I have felt like we should be closer... especially now as we're family and all, but for all the excuses I haven't put much effort in on my part. Today I tried to take a step forward, and sent her a letter. It's short, not a whole lot to it, but I wished her a good week and let her know how glad I was to see her at all of the holiday get togethers.
We have very different personalities, so who knows how our relationship will develop, but I feel good about getting over some of my own insecurities enough to at least start making the effort. Time will tell.
