Being a only
Growing up as an only child I remember times in my life when I wanted a sister. It's been a long time since I've wanted a sibling. But last night after talking to Tim on the phone my heart just longed for a sister. Later that night I realized I wanted someone to count on, someone I could talk to, someone who loves you, and not just when they want something (sorry that sounds harsh) I have always had great friends that made up for my lack of "sisterness" but lately I don't even see my closest friends. And even the best of friends are not your family (or they move to Bend, I hate Bend right now, or they work at night or they have a brand new baby of their own to take care of) Not ever knowing what it's like to have a sister I imagine it's a lot like my relationship I have with Tim sister. Poor thing, had to come and spend the night with me cause I hate to be alone, I gave her some shoes that don't fit and we talked about boys. I love having Crissy as a sister. I love that she "biologically responsible" to help me out in my time of need! I can't just call anyone and say "you have to come and spend the night on my couch." And did I mention that Crissy and Matty share a birthday. I love that! I love that she will be at every birthday party and can help me plan it and when she has a family of her own we can do one big birthday with all of us. I guess what I'm saying is Thank you Crissy for being my only sister and a very special friend.
