Sisters

I was made aware that it was recently Sister's Day. I know it's one of those obscure lame holidays but it got me thinking of my two sisters and how thankful I am for them. And in the spirit of Thanksgiving, this blog is for them. I don't think three more different individuals could have been brought together as sisters and yet have so many similarities. For those who have sisters, they know that they arn't always your best friend, but when bad things happen they are the still the first ones to help you pick up the pieces.

First for my sister Trish, the oldest, the steel magnolia-a little cheesy but true. Trish is the one who works well in crisis mode. While all of the rest of our heads are spinning deciding what to do next, she's one managing the dilema and delegating assignments accordingly. Sometimes I appear less than appreciative of this, but I know its all out of love and her "duty" as a big sister. Because she thrives in intense circummstances I tend to forget that they are just as hard on her as everyone else. She has dealt with such incredible losses and in my estimation has done so with great courage and has set a such a good example for her daughter. You are an inredible Mother, I love you Trish.





Second, for my sister Becky. My go to girl. I hope everybody has someone in their life who is their "what would_______ do?" When faced with a dilema, I often ask myself what Becky would do. She is such an example to me. She puts such thought and care into every decision and tries so hard to be the best person she can be. She is an incredible Mother, her kids are the happiest I've ever seen. She is always on the run and has something fun planned for them, they are going to grow up having the best childhood memories ever. She is a shoulder to cry on when I need it and my biggest cheerleader. I love you Becky.
