Sisters

I am one of the very lucky people in the world to have sisters who are also my best friends. I grew up the youngest of 6 with my closest sibling almost 5 years older. My sisters were 14, 12 & 4 when I was born. Being the youngest, I also gained sisters-in-law at a fairly young age. They have been a part of my life longer than they weren't. (Poor ladies, stuck with me all this time.)
As adults my sisters have been my cheering section, my shoulders to cry on and even my biggest critics when I needed a kick-in-the-butt. They have been a constant in my life, and I very grateful for there continual love and support.
I have also been blessed with other sisters. Most recently, since I have married Ryan I have gained 3 more sisters. I am grateful for the opportunity to have them in my life and to benefit from their experience when they were there, and I wasn't. You will never know how much I appreciate your love and support as well.
In addition to my literal sisters, I have so many great, enduring friends that have buoyed me up and helped me through hard times.
Thank you all!

We are blessed to have you in our lives. Just wish you were closer and our visit's were more frequent. I guess that's what eternity is for. Hey maybe we could be like visiting teaching companions in Heaven ...if they have those.

Okay, sorry about that.....my friend was over for Kyla's b=day and she was checking her stuff on my computer and apparently didn't logout, so when I made the above comment, I noticed it came from her, but it really didn't. However, she is a great person, the comment is all mine to own-up to. Sorry about the confusion.-Amy
