I love my sister so much…she has been such a HUGE blessing in my life in so many ways! I remember we didn’t always get along as well as we do now though. We have a home video where she tells the world I wear a bra (I was 11 or 12 and SO embarrassed!), I’ve sent her to the ER for reasons that I won’t discuss on this blog, and we both went (begrudgingly) to eachother’s sporting events.
But then something happened…either I stopped caring as much about having a little sister who wanted to do stuff the same as me all the time, or she got cooler. Actually, thinking back on it now, she just got a lot cooler. We started to have fun together and slowly became closer friends that I could ever have hoped for.
And now we have all kinds of fun together, even if it’s via text message since she’s in Texas and I’m in Colorado. I’ve been trying for a while to get her to move up here…I figure I can get her to come first, then my parents will follow and we’ll all be together again!
But for now, I’m so proud of the woman she has become. She has taught me in so many ways how to love, how to forgive, how to have mercy, how to have peace, and what it means to have a lasting friendship. We’ve laughed to the point of abdominal muscle exhaustion and cried til there were no more tears. She’s the best girlfriend I’ve ever had, and I’m so incredibly thankful to have such an amazing sister!
Salah, I hope you have the best birthday ever! I love you so much and I can’t wait to see you in a couple of weeks 🙂 Love, Heather
This is such a beautiful post…it makes me alittle sad as I have a poor relationship will all of my sisters…but that’s in the past. It’s beautiful that you recognize each other for who you are. And you both look adorable and like soooo much fun haha!!
Found your site through HEAB’s – I noticed you usually comment at the beginning so had to check ya out…:)
Ohhh, that was so wonderful. You two look like the best of friends. My sister and I never got along until we were both out of the house. Clearly, she was jealous of me. hahah. Now we’re really close! I think thats the natural progression of sisterhood.
awww Sister~!!!! This was so nice! I may have shed a tear or two! I’m so blessed to have a big sister like you to set such a great example for me to follow! (even though my following annoyed you when we were younger :-p) I love you so much!
You and your sister are so adorable. I have two sisters but they are much older than me. I always felt we would have been closer if we were closer in age. Looks like you two are likethis 🙂
Happy Birthday to her!
Adorable!! You are both SO pretty! Happy bday to your sistaaaa…I only have an older bro but always wished I had sis too. Glad you guys have become so close!
