A Exciting Year to Celebrate

When my mom told me that my father and her were having a baby, all I asked for, is that the baby be a girl so that I could have a sister.  Then when I actually got her, I was the happiest little girl.  As we grew up, my sister and I have had delightful times and some unfavorable times, and still to this day we do.  We are sisters, and that is what sisters do.  But there is not a day that goes by that I would wish anything different.  She is my best friend forever and always.

Last Sunday, my sister turned 18 years old.  The girl that I have always seen as a baby and probably always will, is growing up into a lovely young lady.  A young lady that makes her big sister so proud, and honored to be her big sister.  She makes clothes look like their being wore by a model, and she has such great passion in the things she likes.  My sister takes pride in herself, and will always fight for what she believes in which is a great quality in my eyes.  She is still growing up, so of course, there are still things that she is learning, but I have no doubt in my mind that she will grow up to be a successful and beautiful woman.
