Sisterly Love


My sister and I have a typical sister relationship. She is three years older than me and definitely treats me like the little sister. When we were younger we did not get along. We fought over everything but mostly over who got to use the phone and the television. I looked up to my older sister and she always had long, meaningful relationships if there was nothing I could do to help it. Due to the fact that I am older now, I realize that the reason I didn’t like any of her boyfriends and always tried to kick them out of our house and her heart was because they were taking my sister’s time away from me. Our break through moment was at my sister’s high school graduate when I gave her a congratulations hug and she said, “You know what... I kind of like you a little now.” We still have our odd fights over the convenience and inconvenience of being the same size in most of our clothing but we are closer than ever. I believe one of the main reasons we get along so well now is because I have recently become her permanent designated driver for when she decides to have a drink and she always managed to say at the end of the night, multiple times in the beautiful language of an intoxicated person, “I love you”.
