My sister called me the other day to tell me her imaginary friend was not imaginary. So what does that mean?  She said her friend was real and that is why she didn’t have a lot of friends. She didn’t need one when she had her “imaginary” friend.

I remember my mother taking my sister to the doctor. This “imaginary” friend thing had really shaken her up.  It was strange watching my kid sister conversing with… no one. Now as I look back, I wonder why I could not “see” her friend. I mean, I didn’t even try.  I was 4 years older than she. But that was no excuse.  I didn’t want to “see” her friend. I have things that I “saw” that I just didn’t’ talk about.  Maybe I should.
