I recently watched a movie where the main character had a little sister who even though they fought, always wanted to protect her older sister. Which made me think about my sisters. There is a 6-7 year age gap between my sisters and I. They get along together much more than I do with them sometimes. They have their inside jokes and mutual friends. Sometimes I get the feeling like I am being left out but I know it's just because I am a lot older than they are. Aside all of that, when I look back at things that have happened to me, my sisters were always there.
People that don't have sisters probably think that it is just like having a best friend, but it is more than that. We're different people but we share the same ideas and feelings when it comes to certain things. Best friends can lose their relationship and move on. They can become enemies and hate each other. We can't. We share DNA. We have a bond stronger than just best friends. No matter what we go through, our doors are always open to each other. I know I can always go to them, have a sleepover and vent. No worries or judgment. Just the best advice we can possibly give. Even best friends can't always do that. So I consider myself lucky.
Being the oldest can make the relationship hard because you always have to be like a second mom but at the end of the day my sisters and I can always laugh and make up. My middle sister would fight anyone to protect us but she also has her creative side where she will make or say something to make everything better. My baby sister, on the other hand, likes to listen to your problems and offer the best solution possible to help. They are both unique and different but when I look closer, I realize they are just different versions of myself.
Even though we are all now getting older, We can tell each other any secret, we still pinky promise things to each other, we have inside jokes, we can tease each other, and we always, always help each other. I am so blessed to have them. They are more than my best friends. I love my sisters. I am thankful God gave them to me as sisters. We all have this understanding that no matter how old we get or where life takes us, our bond is greater. We will always be there for each other.
