I have two sisters. I am the youngest of the three of us and let me tell you, it sure is interesting growing up with two older best friends who can also be your mom, and your worst enemy all in the same breath. For example, the other day was spent with my sisters visiting my aunt. It was about an hour drive to get there. While on our drive I heard stories that make me wish I was their age so I could partake in their shenanigans, was given life advice about college loans, lectured about being safe and what their experience shows them and how not to make the same mistakes, and just had a genuine good time singing along to the radio. My sisters can also act like my dad in the sense that they are oh so aggravating, like when I first started writing this and one of my sisters decided she was going to keep knocking my pen out of my hand. But that is what sisters do, it's what they are here for and I am so thankful to have double that support in my life.
I know that no matter what, my sisters will always be in my corner, even when I'm wrong and they know it they will still support me and help me see the error in my ways - even when I don't want them to. As well as if anyone did wrong to me, well lets just say my sisters can be pretty frightening when they want to be. Which is why I too try not to cross them a lot of the time.
Sisters fight, it's natural. But I know that the fights with my sisters will never last long; we'd miss each other too much for that. However I still do not enjoy arguing with them, especially if it is because I'm disappointing them.
Life keeps going and we keep growing up, and with that my sisters and I start to get separate lives. I shared a room with one of my sisters for 18 years and now she lives two hours away. Do you know how that makes me feel? When she was here I always had a firm rock keeping me up, and now it feels like that rock is in the middle of the ocean and the tide's coming in. Luckily for me there's another sister in the house who now acts as my life preserver. So no matter what, I know I'm going to be okay.
Although we're busy with our own lives, we stay close and connected. We text, we Snapchat (those can get pretty interesting when you haven't seen each other in a while) and we plan days to see each other and when this comes up it's like we were never apart.
They've been my best friends, my body guards, my extra parents and my confidants since day one, literally. They will continue to be this way forever because you cannot mess with the power of three!
