Yeah, having a sibling can be hard and quite a pain at times. Especially when you don't always get along, but you love them always, even if sometimes it is really, really deep down. You know the saying, "You don't know what you got until it's gone." Well, in my case it is you don't know what you got until it is almost gone. My sister means so much to me, and I never really realized until I could have lost her two years ago. My sister and her boyfriend decided to go skydiving, and my brilliant sister didn't want to go tandem. She ended up taking an 8-hour course so that she could go by herself for her FIRST TIME. The day they were finally going, and she sent me a picture in her jumpsuit, I just had a feeling something bad was going to happen... and it did. I got a call at work that my sister was in the hospital. Her parachutes did not deploy correctly and she landed in a cornfield, narrowly missing a powerline. She lived and luckily only had a fractured vertebra and a messed up ankle when it could have been a lot worse. At first, I was mean to her; I think it was because I was mad, but now I realize how lucky I am she is still here. Don't take people you love in your life for granted, they can disappear in the blink of an eye. Here are 22 reasons I love my big sister and I'm happy she is still alive!
