The Story of Us
Share our Journey - from the beginning....
We have come to understand that the endurance of any relationship is wholly determined by the way in which it begins. We were born 14 years apart into an unstable family environment. For two years we shared a close sibling relationship. For me, the older sister, my feelings bordered on the maternal. For me, the little sister, I just have faint memories of someone very dear to me.
I was 16 years old when I left home leaving my little sister behind. It was almost 20 years before we had any contact with one another. It was another 30 years before we were truly reunited as sisters. The miracle of our beginnings as sisters is that it is as if we had never been parted. We are as close as any two sisters could be and the fact that we are biologically half sisters plays no part in our relationship. Our bond of love for one another has endured and we are simply, Sisters.
I Think of My Sister
I think of my Sister and know that she is the person who will be there for me, even when I can't be here for myself, who will Cheer me to my greatest heights and who will Console me when I've fallen down. She will Stand Up for me and Lie Down beside me. She will Forgive me when I've hurt her and will, occasionally, even bite her tongue when she could so easily have said, "I Told You So."
