I don't often speak of my family because as we have all come to an agreement that there are not enough words to describe us, describe our relationships with each other and definitely no words to describe our love for one another. We are the greatest dysfunctional family, but the key is we are a family. We are four sides of a pyramid. Meaning, we all can go our own way as far as we want, but ultimately we start from the same point where we meet and come together. We are four very different personalities. My sisters and I have take on the responsibility of taking care of our mother. She's doesn't need it yet but what do you do when she's the only parent you've got left? We've shared the same woes, the same losses and the same setbacks. Each of us has sacrificed something for one another. It's what we do. We don't wage useless wars, we don't fight useless battles and we don't waste valuable wisdom and knowledge. We are very caring individuals. We don't like to admit that children are our biggest vice. We all melt for a smart child, a rambunctious child, a cute child, a smiley child and a playful child. We are women. - The Matriarch is the head of our family - immediate and extended. She is not the eldest is her family but she is treated with the highest respect as if she were. She is the rock of her family. Her door is always open. She has a happy, loving and warm home. She is a traditional Navajo woman. She is strong. She is not affectionate but she tries. She speaks - we listen. She does - we watch. She is Mom.
- The Muse is the protector of the arts in our house. She is a life long student of the arts and music. She, like the nine daughters of Zeus, does it all. She's a poet, she's a writer, she's a scholar, she's a musician, she's a dramatic, she's a dancer, she's a connoisseur, she's an athlete, she's a Googler, but most of all she is my sister. She is the quiet and perceptive one. She has an eye for detail and beauty. She needs balance and excitement. She's loves to learn and she loves to share. She is Kayla.
- And finally Ms. Charisma...she is young and carefree. She is the baby and the most loving. She is happy. She is an instigator. She is the tallest. She is the strongest. She is loudest. She is quick-witted. She is a student of human nature. She is easy to love. She is a magnet. She is warm and welcoming. She is a texter. She is also an artist, a scholar, a dramatic and an amazing dancer. She is organized and balanced. She is a leader. She is Deidra and she is my sister.
We are who we are. We are strong Navajo women. We respect and cherish tradition. We have strong hearts and minds. We are confident and caring. We are so much more...just ask us. :)
