I Have The Best Sisters

Somehow, God saw fit to bless me with two amazing sisters. We are step-sisters but sisters none the less. Our parents have been married for as long as I can remember so to me they always have been and always will be my sisters. We may not always have the tightest relationship but I know that no matter what they will always be there for me and I for them. I am blessed to be the baby. Tiff is 6 years older than me. Well, almost. Her birthday falls 7 days after mine. And let me tell you how much fun it was to have to share our birthdays with each other. Probably more fun for me being the the younger sister and it wasn't much fun for me if that tells you anything about Tiff's feelings about it :) Kim is 10 years older than me and is by far the most driven and grounded of the 3 of us. A trait I so admire in her. On that subject Dad says that his 3 girls have 3 distinct personalities and I can see that. Like I said Kim is the grounded and driven of the 3 of us. Whether that was her God given personality or if it came from having Tiff and me for younger sisters I dont know. Kim has made a great life for herself and I will always be chasing after her accomplishments. Tiff is the free spirit. She always has had a hunger for life. She has also made a great life for herself and has a beautiful family. And here I am the baby, chasing after my eldest sisters accomplishments yet with hunger for life like my middle sisters but on fire. The thing that the three of us have in common is how we rally around each other when one of us is down and broken. In unexpected blessings, in sickness, and now in divorce, we always are there to help one another. Sometimes, its a hug, sometimes its standing at a hospital bed, and sometimes its a sweet post on facebook. I love my sisters and I couldnt imagine walking through life without them. On a specific note, my sister Kim wrote one of the sweetest comments ever on my facebook. I had posted a piece of flair that said "happiness is being divorced from an idiot" with the simple phrase "need I say more" beside it. My sister Kim wrote the following comment that brought me to tears. "sorry you have to go through it but glad it is almost over! You are strong, young and have so much life to live. Surround yourself with people that will build you up..not tear you down! You deserve better!"
