To live is to love something so much you can feel it in your feet...

Sisterly love


As many people know, I have two amazing, wonderful, intelligent, inspiring, caring and all things wonderful, sisters. Since we were little, we have loved, hated, admired, and supported each other. Growing up with Rachel and Lisa was more then I could have ever asked for, at least for the most part (haha). I'm the youngest, so when we would play, I got the grunt jobs. At our old house we had a huge sandbox in the very back of our back yard. We always liked to make tunnels and rivers and little towns with our sand. Our town needed water to go in the river, makes sense right? Well, it was always my job to go get the water, which was all the way at the house. So instead of building tunnels, I would end up spending my afternoon running from the sandbox to the faucet, filling up a 16 oz cup with water, running back to the sandbox, and then back again. Over, and over, and over. At least that's the way I remember it happening. I just wanted to play with them. I am six years younger than Rachel, and four years younger than Lisa, so there was a big age gap, and didn't always understand what they were playing, or how to do the things they were doing. But they included me, which is all I wanted. And then we got a little older, and were in totally different places in our lives. I wasn't all that much fun to hang out with because I was in elementary school and Rachel was graduating from high school, and then eventually Lisa went to college, and I was in high school, and then I was in college, and they were both graduated and married, and had homes, and careers. It's really interesting how no matter where we were in our lives, we knew that we could count on each other. Having sisters is like having built in best friends. You get mad at each other, disagree, but then you get over it, you apologize, and you move on. There is no fight to end the friendship. Even if there was, we would just call mom and have her fix it. Now here we are, all three of us grown adults, with our lives, jobs, homes, and husbands (yes, I know I'm not married yet, but soon enough), and we still make time for each other, because we're built in best friends. We're each others biggest cheerleaders and supporters. I couldn't imagine not having my sisters. I couldn't imagine not having that bond and that go to best friend. I am so happy I have them in my life.
Love,
Lauren
