As long as I’ve known her, she’s put this kind of pressure on herself. I’m not
sure where she gets it. Then, of course, her sister is coming to town.
Aunt Becca Why would her coming make Mom like this
Em, I’m sure you’ve heard your mom call Becca the “perfect sister.” She feels
inferior to Becca. She’s always felt that Becca did everything right and that
she did everything wrong. Even when your mom became a Christian, she still
felt that she never could live up to the standard set by Becca. In her eyes,
Becca is perfect, and that’s always been really hard for her.
But you would think that her faith would help.
It does for some, but others, like your mom, start thinking that they are never
good enough, even for God. They live like they constantly have to prove
themselves.
And Aunt Becca just makes her feel worse
Yeah.
I wish I could help Mom know that she’s loved by us and God no matter what.
Well, keep trying. Maybe someday it’ll break through.
(Darlene enters, frazzled and needing sleep, hair and clothes rmussed, and with white
flour on her face and hands.)

Hi, sweetheart.
Hi, Mom.
Hi, Mom.
(Triumphantly) The cookies are finally done! I only got a couple of dozen
made, but it will have to be enough. As long as no one in the family eats any,
we’ll be fine.
Really
Don’t even think about it! Now I just have to bake six kinds of pies.
