Sisters

Is there anyone on earth quite like a sister? If we are blessed with long lives, I will know my sister and brother longer than I will know anyone else. My brother and sister are the only people who really know my story and truly know the craziness that is unique for every family.

But my sister is the only one who can answer my phone and pretend to be me because we sound exactly the same. My sister is the only one who really knows what I mean when I say, "Ahh, I sound just like mom!" My sister is the only one who really doesn't care if I eat so much pizza that I'm going to pop but then cheers me on with my weight loss even if it's just half a pound. My sister is the only person I've ever been hounded to sing a duet with by my voice teacher. My sister always has time for me, even when I ramble on for an hour straight about nothing at all.

Now take all that and multiply my sister blessing by a million. Because even if she wasn't my sister, I would still totally adore her. I would want to do all the hobbies we share with her anyway, but it's just that much better because she's my sister. So here's to all of us who get to share a special bond with our sisters.


This is a picture of us a few years ago when we were singing together in Symphonic Choir. I mentioned those hobbies, right?









My sister, my friend.
