BUT--it sounds like she is at least trying to and it sounds like she is interested in having a relationship with you. That is actually a LOT!
My father has no interest in EVER trying to get it nor in a relationship with me. So, at least you have that in your sister.
I'd say take it slow and keep building upon the foundation of love you two share.

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Berries. I think you are right, I am forgetting to be grateful simply for the relationship, which is a lot more than I really ever hoped for before. Projecting into the future is not necessary. I'm going to try to stay in the here and now.
I am so sorry about your father, although I can truly identify with you. I truly hope that you have other people in your life who you can depend upon for support.
