Sisters

Some people have a lot of siblings.  Some people have none.  I have a wonderful sister.  It's just me and her now as both our parents passed away last year.  We are the only ones that hold our childhood memories now!

We were really close as kids.  We had very different personalities but we were great friends.  We did almost everything together!

I got married at 18 and left the nest.  She was just 15.  I moved across the country and started having kids.  She was going through high school and we just kind of grew apart.  I was in one stage of life and she was in another.  We still talked and she came to visit but it was a different time.

Then life hit.  With all the tragedies that come with it.  Lots of storms that threatened to pull us apart forever.

We clung to the liferaft-we only had each other.  I didn't have any other siblings to run to.  It was only us.

We muddled through.

We reached out to each other.

We started talking again.  Every morning.

The bridge was starting to be rebuilt.

Now I am doing things I never thought I'd do!  Go on a TRAPEZE???   Do Indoor Skydiving!  Start aerial yoga!

But the best part of all these things.... it's with my sister!!

We are still different in a lot of ways.  But we enjoy each other's company.  We laugh till we cry. And that makes me happy.

Love you Laura!💗💗💗
