Beautiful Sisters





I have these 3 beautiful, caring, giving, loving sisters. They have been on my mind alot lately and so I wanted to share some of my thoughts and thoughts from other people about sisters. I love you all!!!

A sister is someone who leads you when you are having a problem.
A sister makes you laugh and cry.
A sister is someone who likes to fight with you.
A sister is the one who stands with you in all your ups and downs.
A sister makes you remember who you really are.
A sister sometimes makes you cry when they are very sad.
A sister is someone who is always there for you through all the laughter and tears.
A sister is real.
A sister never will pretend.
A sister is someone like you whom I treasure everyday in my heart.




"Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk."
-Susan Scarf Merrell

"Your siblings are usually the first people besides your parents to come to your aid in times of trouble. They know your admirable qualities, they know your faults. They've seen you during the good times, but they've also seen you at your worst."
-Shari Cohen

"You leave home to seek your fortune and, when you get it, you go home and share it with your family."
-Anita Baker

"The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
-Erma Bombeck

"No one can love you or hurt you as a sister can. They serve as memory mirrors of the serious and silly parts of our lives...The...bond may twist and bend and fray, but the tie is never broken."
-Mrs. James Modlish

To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.
-Clara Ortega

"Until the ending of our days, we will be part of one another's lives. However far apart, however different, we are essential to each other."
-Pam Brown

"We are sisters. We will always be sisters. Our differences may never go away, but neither, for me, will our song."
-Elizabeth Fishel

"I have come back full circle to my own sister, to the value of traversing an often troubling relationship, one that has fractured and sustained me, but most important, has helped me piece together the story of myself."
-Patricia Foster

"Sister, open your heart, fling your hopes high, set your dreams aloft. I am here to hold your hand."
-Maya Angelou

"One of the best things about being an adult is the realization that you can share with your sister and still have plenty for yourself."
- Betsy Cohen

"We love those who know the worst of us and don't turn their faces away."
- Walker Percy

"Very often we travel the world over in search of what we need and return home to find it."
- George Moore

"Sisters are connected throughout their lives by a special bond...whether they try to ignore it or not. For better or for worse, sisters remain sisters, until death do them part."
- Brigid McConville

Good post. Thank you for sharing all those quotes. Also makes my yearn for Sara.

I totally agree, we couldn't be 4 more different people, but somehow connected by the underlying sister bond. I always wish for the day when the differences are less than the likenesses and we can actually all enjoy being together.

There is nothing like sharing something with a sister. Through the years I have been so privledged to share special times with all 3 of my sisters, although some more than others the feelings of love and acceptance are there. I love each of my sisters unconditionally. Only in the last few months have I been able to find who I really am and what I want in life. I have been helped through this journey with some special books I have read, some great talks. I have come to realize that time is just too short to hold grudges, be judgmental, and to let time go by and not try to reach out and touch those who I love most, my family. I hope and pray that soon, very soon we can all 7 of us get together for the sake of our wonderful parents and take a photo to give them, to let them see us together one more time before they are gone and the moment lost. Thanks for sharing those thoughts. I miss you!

Wow I wrote a whole narative and it didn't post so I'll try again, Ha! Over the past few months I have really been touched, inspired, and lifted by some special books I have read, some tender feelings shared, some great talks about life. I have come to realize that life is too short to be judgmental, to hold a grudge, and to not try to be friends with those we love most, our family. It would be a shame on all of us to not try to get together and take a photo, talk, laugh, and even cry with each other before it is too late for mom to realize the dream that she most wants. We need to make the effort to make this happen. Let us know when you can come next and we will try to get Dan, Tim, and Becky to meet us somewhere neutral and have a good time. I think it is high time we do. I can hardly wait. Thanks for sharing those great thought. The time for forgiveness and letting go is upon us. I can honestly say, I forgive, I forget, and I love each of my siblings.
