Two years, 10 months and 3 days after Angela was born, I showed up and made her a Sister. I’m not sure that she was exactly thrilled about my arrival, but I wasn’t going anywhere. I was definitely the little sister who was always tagging along and wanting to hang out with my Sissy and all of her cool friends. Angela, on the other hand, wanted me to get lost.
We were the sisters who always bickered over everything. Sometimes we would get along, but more times than not, we were fighting over something silly. Angela and I are complete opposites. Angela is the firstborn, so she has always been very organized, goal oriented, and would always follow the rules. I, being the youngest child, was messy, did what I wanted and broke the rules every chance I got.
We are two Peas in the same Pod...but we are vastly different Peas. This caused a lot of issues, but now we have been able to appreciate out differences. I now seek Angela’s calm and wise council, while she can now understand my craziness...well, a little bit! Differences make the world go ‘round and maturity is terrific!
After growing up with one sister, I have been blessed with receiving 5 more sisters through marriage!
Andréa is only about 5 months younger than me. She is tall, gorgeous (Hello! She’s a Model!), and just the sweetest girl in the world!
Sara is the youngest. I had the privilege of watching her grow up from elementary school to young adulthood.
Sophie is my newest sister. Though I don’t know her that well, I would best describe her as a Fairy, mixed with a Unicorn with a little bit of sass thrown in! Sophie is sweet, funny and very eclectic.
Kim and Christine are John’s stepsisters. We don’t see then all that often, but they are always so welcoming when we get together.
I have an interesting mix of Sisters. There is Beauty in Diversity...especially when it comes to Sisters!
