"Sisters aren't always friends, but friends come and go. The thing about sisters is they never let go!" -Kristin Noel
This post was inspired by none other than.....my sister Kayla. We have seen many things together and have been through many others. The story is told that we use to fight over such silly things as bobby pins and this is probably true, but as the years have gone by we may have not always been friends, but we have been sisters.
Over the past few years as we have moved away to college to pursue our dreams, find love, and experience life I find myself missing those times in our youth. I remember fondly a picture collage my sister made me one year for Christmas of the two of us with the song lyrics "O how the years go by" by Amy Grant. I can't think of it without tearing up. It's funny to think that the distance has brought us closer. Maybe it's because we appreciate each other more and have learned to look deeper into our true characters and begin to see each other the way God intends for us to.
I remember fondly her Maid-of-Honor speech at our wedding that she ended by giving me a figurine very special to our family that has engraved in it "She's not heavy, she's my sister." ......tearing up again!
Kayla also knows that I adore cards and would probably rather a card than any gift in the world. She always sends me cute and thoughtful cards and the last one was no exception. I had to share this because this card fits us like a glove! Thank you Kayla for the many memories, the laughter, the tears, and definitely the love we have shared.
Some Sisters: A poem for you on Valentine's Day
Some sisters are big, while others are smaller
Some sisters are tiny, and others are taller
Some sisters have smarts, and many are witty
Some sisters are charming, delightful, and pretty
Some sisters are proper, still others pass gas
Some sisters are really a pain the.....uh....never mind.
Some sisters are many things, these are a few.....
And I'm really glad that my sister is YOU!
This poem may be funny, cute, and witty......but it is the love that was shared through it's giving that means the most! I'm really glad your my sister too!
