Sisters across the map

Tweet

I am the oldest of six siblings, 4 of us being sisters...all different, independent and willful, even though the youngest are twins. Our age gaps over 13 years, so by the time I left home @ 17, the twins were still toddlers. We are all grown now, and I would have to say, we are probably closer now than we ever were in childhood, even though we are separated by miles,(MN, WS, GA, TX). The bond of our relationship often goes unsaid, but never unfelt. We are there for each other when no one else is. Our parents are still with us, so we still can link with our roots and keep tabs on what everyone is doing; who's going HOME for the holidays or on vacation to see one of the other "kids"(Yes, Mom still calls us her kids!). The internet and e-mails has further enhanced our communication and keeping up with each other. Pictures really are worth a thousand words! So,to all you SISTERS out there...Cherish yours; hold on to that special twinge in your heart when you are able to reflect on your happy times and memories of those closest to you as children...they walked your path, learned your same virtues, and rely on you to always be there!
