Sisterhood..

Sisters have a very unique bond....and it lasts forever...we'll share clothes, footwear, make-up, handbags, advice..we'll argue and then not talk to each other for weeks and suddenly we'll makeup and pick-up where we left off.
I guess for women the same can be said for our friendships....we develop a sisterly bond with our women friends..but when there is the slightest hint of back-biting, bitching, etc...that relationship is gone forever..when it is your own sister that never happens. I think of everyone I know who has sisters and I know they all share an amazing relationship with their sisters.
when i was younger i used to think that the age difference between my sister and me was too much..7 years ( that is a lot ) I have combed her hair, packed her lunch for school, dropped her off and picked her up from school, seen her pass through adolescence and now she's a grown woman. Now the age difference doesn't seem too much. Now there are times when she advises me and i think to myself...wooww..this is the little girl I have spoon-fed(literally) when we were in school. My sis and I have seen some highs and lows in our lives and have seen each other through all of it. I must mention at this point that I have an older brother. My relationship with him is different. I see him as this big brother who is protective and possessive of his sisters. Also with brothers the emotional connection is less coz men don't like to talk about their feelings. anyways, thats a whole different topic altogether.
My relationship with my sister has grown over the years and I cherish this relationship all the more now.
