Facebook helps me connect with my little sister

I'm 23. I have spent my entire life knowing that I will have to take care of my little sister (20) after my parents pass. We have a weird relationship, since I was her primary care person during my parent's divorce but all through HS we talked great.

Then, I went to college. My little sister has always had severe trouble on the phone. She can't write well either. Basically, we went from talking everyday to when I could visit.

Two weeks ago, she decided to get facebook. She plays the little games on there. I made sure her privacy settings were strict and went on with my life. Then, one day she just messaged me. Asked me how my day was, etc.

We had a real talk. (Well as far as this goes.) I have been communicating with her everyday since then.

Thank you Facebook. I wanted to share in case anyone else was in my situation.
