Adrienne

My best friend, Adrienne

So last week on Wednesday, Adrienne (my sister) called and said that she was coming to visit. I was so happy for her to come visit. Travis got to stay out of daycare for 2 days, which he enjoyed and got to be spoiled by Auntie Adrienne. It made me realize how much I really miss her. I have to admit she is my best friend. The one person I can talk to about anything and not be judged. Her and I have been through a lot and will hopefully be able to continue that bond.

Which got me to thinking how mad it makes me when I hear people saying how they never talk to their siblings because of something they have done. What in the world could possibly be that bad that you would never talk to someone who is your sibling. You do not get to choose your family, so live with it. That’s what life is about, being handed problems and working them out. Don’t get me wrong, we didn’t get along for a lot of our childhood, and even into adulthood, but I wouldn't ever stop talking to her. Adrienne, is my only "real" sister and a lot of the time we feel like we only have each other, mostly because each of our parents have other children.

Now being the older sister, I get very protective over her, wish she wouldn’t date, don’t know how I am going to handle it when she is pregnant, and wish she didn’t live so far away. But I will always support her in whatever she does which brings me to the point of this whole blog. She got another tattoo and I am soooo jealous. Now she needs to think of another one and go with me to get one, FAST!

Some sister quotes:

Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there. ~Amy Li

If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child. ~Linda Sunshine

What's the good of news if you haven't a sister to share it? ~Jenny DeVries

I know some sisters who only see each other on Mother's Day and some who will never speak again. But most are like my sister and me... linked by volatile love, best friends who make other best friends ever so slightly less best. ~Patricia Volk
