My sister and I are retired, so we didn't grow up texting. We've both worked as professional women. We've had jobs that entailed a good deal of responsibility and the necessity of interacting with other people in difficult circumstances.

I feel like my sister has chosen to put minimum effort into reaching out. That's what a text message is - it's the least that one can do. She can't pick up the phone and ask me how I'm doing? I didn't know she thought so little of me.
