One of my favorite things about her is that we are friends. When we were young, we fought like crazy. We shared bedrooms and earrings and barbie clothes and the back seat of the family car. Now we share parenting tips and funny stories and encouragement and if you'd asked me when I was 15 and she was 14 if we'd ever share a hotel room willingly, I'd have said no way.
I'm so glad my 15 year old self has nothing to say about how my grown up self behaves. Some of my best memories revolve around us and our younger sister at our yearly weekend beach vacation!
Happy Birthday Amy!
And yes, this blog post is partly because I might forget to call after work....but you'll know I was thinking about you first thing this morning!
Having eight siblings myself, all of whom I am still close to, I can identify with this post. And I know all of their birthdays, because we celebrated them as a family. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteAww what a nice post. I have a sister too, but her name starts with T.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your sister! Your relationship with her sounds like the one I have with my sister: fighting as kids but close as adults.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
I have 2 grown daughters and I wish they felt like this. Maybe someday.

Love this! Thanks for you text this morning, so nice to wake up to happy birthday wishes. So thankful for both you and Lisa - countdown is on to Seaside! :)
ReplyDeleteI think your post is a great alternative to a phone call :) I have three sisters, and am so grateful for each of them!
ReplyDeleteMy big sister's name is Amy, and her birthday is also in April--the 19th. I'd be lost without her!

My sister is 18 months younger than me. We've had our bad moments, believe me, and sometimes still have them, but we were so close in age and so close growing up that sometimes I will be halfway through telling a story that has both of us in it and can't remember which of us did or said what. There are a few injury stories that I have to check myself for the scar just to be sure it happened to me and not her.
ReplyDeleteAnd how wonderful is it that your sister was born on April 1st and your parents had the foresight to name her Amy so you had the perfect first post for A-Z? ;)
i just watched a segment on the today show about sisters--they are great!!
ReplyDeleteJust blog hopping on the A-Z and thought I'd say I really liked your post. I too have a younger sister, and it's lovely to experience the bond of someone you have known your whole life and will know like no other :)
