My sisters are my best friends. Yes, we do have other friends, we don't spend every waking moment together, our personalities are not identical, and we drive each other a little crazy at times, but I wouldn't change the relationship that I have with them for anything.
Growing up, I was closest to my younger sister, since we were only two years apart. Our older sister if four years older than me and six years older than my younger sister, so we didn't become as close as we are until more recently. When we were little, I always wanted to be just like my older sister. In my eyes, she was the most fashionable, the coolest, and the prettiest person I knew. And I would have given anything for the opportunity to hang out with her. My younger sister and I always played together, we always wore matching clothing, we shared a bedroom, and I'd admit, I bossed her around a lot.
Both of my sisters are very dear to my heart, and I love each of them for their many beautiful and unique qualities. Somewhere in between borrowing their clothes and having a confidant, having sisters, and the privilege of sharing life with both of them has brought me far more blessings than I deserve. My sisters are a blessing from God, and I couldn't be more proud and thankful for their lives and the impact that they both have had on me. They both teach me to be a better version of myself, and they do so through their example. They encourage me in my endeavors and seek my encouragement. They bring joy and laughter into my life. They put up with me even when they find me annoying. They inspire me to grow in my relationship with God. They live life and share their lives with me. And they love me.
Now, my older sister is married, I'm in college, and my youngest sister is more than half way done with her high school career. It crazy how we went from being little girls dressing up as if we were characters from Little House on the Prarie, to young adults making plans for our futures and going on adventures.
My sister will forever be my go-to people, and I know that My sisters are my best friends.
