Day 12~ Sisters!

Today I am thankful for my sister. She is an amazing and beautiful woman and I’m very happy that we are so close. Sara is 5 years younger than me. My mom says it was like having two only children when we were growing up because we were in completely different places and had completely different interests.

Sara has a great talent of being calm in a storm. She has an awesome sense of humor and she will always listen when I need someone to talk to. I am grateful for the friendship we have. We’ve always believed the statement; “Chance made us sisters, hearts made us friends”.

My mom is very close with her sister too. There are several more years between them, but they have always been very close. Just as my grandmother and her sister were close. Here is a picture of three generations of sisters- my grandma and her sister, my mom and her sister, my sister and me. And here are the present 3 generations of sisters- my mom and her sister, my sister and me, and the triplet sisters. The second picture is from our last night in Connecticut this past June.

Sisters play an important role in our family and I can only hope that my girls will have a similar bond throughout their lives. Sisters are forever I tell them!
