A detailed Summary of katie

On May 7th, 1993, my eleventh birthday, my mother broke the news. I was going to be a big sister to twins. I was not happy. Being an only child for over eleven years with divorced parents had made me extremely spoiled and I did not want that to change. I had become very accustomed to not having to share my family's love and the prospect of another child in the family scared me very much. For weeks I didn't speak to my mother because I felt that she had betrayed me in some peculiar way by becoming pregnant and that she no longer loved me as much.

Approximately three months into the pregnancy my mom miscarried one of the babies and was bedridden for the rest of the pregnancy. The doctors said she was lucky to still be carrying one of them, considering that she was thirty-five and sick to begin with. This baby would be special everyone said, but I didn't feel any better. Why did my mother need another child? Wasn't I enough? Then one day it all changed. My mother sat me down and told me that she still loved me but she had been trying to become pregnant with her boyfriend for almost six years now and she never

Even as a newborn Katie was incredibly intelligent and she clung to me immediately. By the time she was five months old my mother had gone back to work and I baby-sat constantly, which only brought my kid sister and me closer. I was the one who taught Katie to speak, walk, and eventually read and write. KateLynn would listen to me over our mother or her father, and even though that sometimes annoyed people it showed just how much we loved each other. To this day my six ("and a half" as she'd say) year old sister is intelligent past her years and can relate to me on a level much closer to that of a sixth grader than that of a kindergartener.

KateLynn has forever shaped the relationships I have with people on a day-to-day basis. Since her miracle birth I have looked at life in a different way because with a little help from her I can still see the world through a child's eyes. Katie has also taught me to accept myself and be honest to myself at any cost like only a child can. In a straightforward manner she single handedly has taught me to take each day in stride and to live life to the fullest.
