The Sisters

Anyone that has known me for a while knows that I have sisters....three to be exact. We were all born relatively close in time, maybe 18 months apart being the furthest. With this set up comes both good times and trying times. The one sister that I feel most connected to of course is my oldest sister. She stands in the way of me being the first born, but now as I looks at her road, I'll gladly take second. The sister one and a half year younger than me, is an enigma. One day she's up and almost too up for me, the next day she's MIA for weeks at a time. Then there's the youngest, likes to help, loves to gives advice, loves children. Each one possesses talent. The oldest, can take are of any animal and person for that matter. Has a deep heart but won't let you love her too much. She can also tell you what she sees and I'll admit, at times the truth does hurt. But she doesn't do it to crush anyone, at least I hope not. Then the middle sister is very creative, a great homemaker, great at facials, yet has a hard time finishing her goals, almost as if she's afraid of success. The youngest sister is unique in that she sees treasures in items that I would normally walk by. Loves to collect rocks, loves her girls, is a hard worker but needs her quiet time like we all do. When we all four get together, it can be either the best time or it can involve the police. But I wouldn't trade them for any other sisters because they are mine. I may say things in frustration at times, but if anyone else does...watch out. Funny thing now is we are all going through menopause. We didn't know it though until the eldest one told us, as well as told us what supplements we need. Now when we have a disagreement, we have something to pin it on. We complain about the hot flashes, mood swings, weight gains, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, but at least we have each other to talk to ... When we're all talking! Haha. I love my sisters. Some I could hang out with for days and some an hour will do, but I still love them. I couldn't imagine growing up without all of us together. I love you sisters!
