Andrea Gibson

It was very painful for the family.

And the whole time, I'm just looking at her and thinking, this...

There is so much joy that lives beneath this person.

I mean, I thought my parents are serious.

I'm serious.

My mom always used to say I'm a deep thinker and that it concerned her.

But my sister, when my sister was born, we were all like, yes, bring some joy into this place.

Because she was just, she was so lighthearted.

And then that all went away.

But underneath, I always knew.

And then she, I think it's seven years ago now, she got clean.

And she has been in recovery for seven years now.

And she got off of it.

God, that's a miracle.

Yeah.

It was amazing to get my sister back.

And then it was almost like she was immediately that kid that she was because I remember her calling me and saying, Andrea,

do you know mom's eyes are green?

And for all those years, she had not been able to see clearly.

And then she also called me, Raymond, even though she was still like sick from getting off all this stuff.
