My Sister, My Friend

Fifty years ago today a red haired, strong lunged child came into the world…..my baby sister.

Through the years we argued and fought, like most siblings. I thought she wanted to grow up too fast when she insisted on tagging along everywhere I went. One time she went on a date with me and my boyfriend to a drive- in movie!

As we grew older, we formed a special bond. Now we think and act so much a like it is sometimes scary. One year when we lived thousands of miles apart, we sent the same greeting card to our Mom. (With all the greeting cards out there, what are the chances of that happening?)

Our husbands even notice our similarities and point them out to us. When we are together there is no doubt that we are sisters. We have bought the same clothing (though we live hundreds of miles apart). I tell people that we are twins born five years apart!

My sweet sister is my best friend and I feel so blessed!
