I remember the night she was born. We passed time in the waiting room with "I Love Lucy" episodes (my favorite) on Nick at Night (remember?!). I was wearing an awful red turtle neck and my huge 90's glasses. (Sorry, tangent.) The wait (and the pictures) were worth it though! Before long, I was a big sister!
She had big blue eyes and blonde hair... and I was beaming from ear-to-ear!
At almost nine years her senior, I've probably been a little more overprotective than a typical older sibling. Not only did she have our mom, but she was lucky enough to have me too! (Poor thing.) Two people telling her what to do and when. What is right and what is wrong. Teaching her how to be a lady...
As she's gotten older, the more I've realized how much I love her as a friend. Some may think that such a great age difference would cause us to be a little disconnected. I don't think that's true at all...
She calls me each evening to tell me goodnight. She still calls me "Sissy" and I hope she never stops. I'm an absolute lunatic at her basketball games. I am just so proud that she's my sister.
She's smart, funny (hilarious, really), talented...
...and an all-around, pretty amazing young woman. She is growing up so fast but so wonderfully. I'm really proud of who she's becoming.
Watch out, World!
