I paid my sister back every pound she lent me

Dear Delyara, When I left prison, my sister lent me £6,200 over the first year: rent deposit, work clothes, travel, groceries, a replacement phone. She never pressured me to repay it, which made the debt feel more emotional, not less. Once I found steady work, we agreed on £100 a month. Sometimes I paid £50. Sometimes more. Today, I transferred the final £83. My sister immediately sent £20 back with the reference “interest for being annoying.” I laughed. Then I called her and cried. She said I had never owed her for being my sister. I told her I needed to finish anyway. Financial success, for me, is not wealth. It is the ability to look at someone who helped me when I had almost nothing and know that the money has returned even though the love was never a loan.
