If you have a sister who has made you laugh, wiped your tears, hugged you tight when you need it, cheered you on, made you mad, frustrated you at times, supported you on matter what, and despite everything, they love you, then this post is for them to say I love you my sister and I couldn’t imagine my life without them. This includes those girl friends you class as your sisters.
Sisters, as you know, also have a unique relationship. This is the person who has known you your entire life, who should love you and stand by you no matter what, and yet it’s your sister who knows exactly where to drive the knife to hurt you the most.
Our sibilings 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.
We hang out, we help one another, we tell one another our worst fears and biggest secrets and then just like real sisters, we listen and don’t judge.
Your parents leave you too soon and your kids and spouse come along late, but your siblings know you when you are in your most inchoate form.
