Sisters

Tonight has been especially hard on me, missing my sisters. I have two biological sisters and one foster sister. It's hard living four hours away from them.

Growing up, my siblings and I would make up little games all the time. Ninja games especially. Trying to find all the creaks in the house and get around them. We would stay up late giggling and talking. As we got older we would sit and bond and tell each other about school and friends.

When Kenna was young she was very content just playing by herself. I was old enough when she was born that I got the blessed opportunity to watch her grow up. I've seen her develop amazing talents and build young friendships. I've seen her grow into a brilliant young woman, and I see so much potential in her. On my wedding day she walked up to me, her face puffy from crying, and asked me to dance. Yeah, I cried the whole song. I am so proud of all she is doing and will do with her life. Kenna is so beautiful and talented that there is nothing she won't do with her life.

Bri and I used to clash when we were younger, but the older she got, the more we related. We used to walk down to the Tesoro near our house with our pockets full of loose change. We would get ice tea and candy then sit on the side of the road. We had a specific spot we would sit and wave at the cars passing by. We would cheer on the bikers and runners and just laugh and smile. Bri is my dearest friend, the closest person to my heart. She knows my deepest secrets and has supported me through everything. Bri is now going on dates, learning to drive, and becoming such an amazing young adult.

It blows my mind that I am so blessed to be these girls older sister. I cannot fathom how amazing it is to watch these girls grow up. I am so proud of them and I miss them so much.
