Happy Birthday my darling Sis ...... you were the first 'best' thing to happen to me!
My sis is 10 years younger to me. There was a time when she was small and needed my taking care of, but now, as you wrote we do all these silly things that only sisters can do. She got married this July, now we call each other in the middle of the night to crib about our better half (when we've picked a fight with them). The fight is long forgotten by the time we finish our call. Will definitely share this with her :)
ReplyDeleteI know Shadia..... I can totally relate to what you say. Still remember when my sister got married - i didn't know whether to cry or to laugh.... am honored you want to share it with her :-)
DeleteAwwww...so sweet...I always wanted to have a sister...and still try finding them in few ppl and get hurt ...hee hee:)

ReplyDeleteyour post just came in right time when i am missing my sister the most....she is getting married by the end of this month and till now she was staying with me....i feel lump in throat even to think that she won't be in that other room to listen to my endless cribbing.....though she would be staying only few blocks away.
Aww..... thats so sweet Nbose! And you are really lucky she's going to be a few blocks away - you have no idea what I'd give to have my sis even in the same country as me !! :-(
DeleteThat is so so so Sweet! I wish I had a sister too...baah I got a brother, he's awesome though (lets be fair to him).But I found my "sister" in my husband's didi. A lot of it, if not all!
ReplyDeleteWow! you have best of both worlds then! I know of times I have cried my eyes out as I did not have a brother :-) ..... but cousins made up for that! Thanks for coming by!
DeleteI have not one but two sisters .. and they are my best friends for life !! How every small thing has to be shared with them ... Even if its a slipper or a drink that I liked it has to be reported to my sisters ... Love this post ... !!
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky thing!!! Two sisters must be like a festival or something when you guys meet :-) ...
DeleteThank you for coming by Divya!
