I haven't really mentioned her.
Some people love to complain about their siblings and how they are terrible. But honestly, I have no complaints. Maybe it's because she moved away when I was very young, but i've never really fought with her. Other than the occasional. "I'm mom's favorite!" I knew she was her favorite, but I argued back for the sake of being stubborn.
My sister. She is 14 years older than me, 1,461 miles away, but still in my arms. I hold her very dear to me. She is one of the people I look up to the most. I admire every aspect about her. My sister is a lot like our mother. But she also breaks down as I do. The thing with her is that she has the strength to pick herself up and everyone around her as well. She makes moves to better herself and now she's bringing me with her.
My sister has given me the opportunity to become something. That, I couldn't refuse because she wasn't allowing me to refuse in the first place, and I trust her. She seems to have the answers that I seek, so why wouldn't I just go with it.
There is something that I really admire about her. She doesn't give up. Ever. She sticks to me like glue and forces me out of my comfort zone. Sometimes that really angers me because I want to be upset, but she doesn't give me the chance to be. Though, I don't think she understands just how much it means to me that she has that effect. Another thing is that she listens to what I have to say before she makes a judgement. So I feel like I can tell her things that I don't tell anyone else. Even in person, it's easy to talk to her.
She always  makes me smile and pushes me to do my best. I'm actually going to be seeing her soon. She put me in this program that is, in truth, making me quite nervous, but because it's something she did, I am taking it head on.
I'm smiling as I write this because I find myself incredibly excited to see her and my nephew. Yes, she has a son. He's a little beast and I love him very much. She has done an incredible job raising him so far, following in the steps of our mother, but with a gentler hand.
We have a plan. One day i'll move out there with her and we will work together. We will make up for lost time and it will be great. That's positivity in my books, looking towards a bright future.
Love you, Sissy.
