My Sisters

To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. ~ Clara Ortega.

Our siblings push buttons that cast us in roles we felt sure we had let go of long ago--the baby, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the avoider...It doesn't seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we've traveled.~Jane Mersky Leder

Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastropher should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers.
~ Pam Brown

One of the best things about being an adult is the realization that you can share with your sister and still have plenty for yourself ~Betsy Cohen

Of two sisters one is always the watcher, one the dancer. ~ Louise Gluck

To my sisters: She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you are your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child. ~ Barbara Alpert

I will be home in 5 days to see the two most important young women in my life--my sisters. I want them to know that I love them, cherish them, and am so utterly and completely proud of them. I am very blessed to have them in my life and cannot wait to grow old together and reminisce about our childhood.

The video below is one of my favourite songs from Reba and if you have sisters maybe it will make you tear up like I do. I'm such a sap!
