Sisters

Who knew 20 years ago there would come a time i would really miss them? I guess when you are a kid you just take them for granted. I mean you spend your entire childhood wishing they would go away, stop playing with your stuff...and lo and behold when you get your wish, you miss them! How did that happen?! It must be some cruel joke, a surprising twist in life. Wasn't it just yesterday we were belly sliding threw a very muddy lake Bob (a glorified mud puddle in my parents yard), thumb tacking sheets into our parents living room celling to make a stage curtain for our numerous plays complete with make up and costumes, setting up a pretend nail salons, numerous sleep overs all in the same beds even though we had different ones, staying up really late talking and laughing and dreaming about our lives..planning how we would all buy houses next door to each other and all have our baby's at the same exact time in the same hospital? How did this happen??? We are all grown up, most of us are becoming parents, all are married. We now have lives of our own. Separate from each other..not quite how we dreamed it to be. Some have move hours away..some have stayed close. Funny how those childhood dreams were so innocent and idealistic. We just could never picture our lives with out each other. And some how we make it work...we stay close as technology and funds will allow. We try our bestest to be there for the big things in life..and if we can be, it kills us. When my sisters hurt, i bleed..i would rather go through a trial myself than see them go through one. Looking back its amazing how my sisters have shaped a lot of the person i am today. I miss those sweet innocent days of past, but sharing the present with them is just as sweet. How amazing is it to watch them fall in love get married and have there own baby's? We rejoice in each others triumph, Cry in each others sorrow.  So my sweet sisters this post is for you. Your big sister loves you, even though sometimes you still get on my nerves ;)
