As a little sister who just turned 18, my older sister is one of my best friends. I have no idea how I could have grown up with out her.

I too adore when people say we look alike and act alike even though I think we're completely different. Great read!

Love the piece! I have a little sister too. She is my best, closest and smartest friend in the world and I am so thankful she was born.

Love the article and your writing. Joanne , my best

friend and partner has three sisters, all in their 70's, who all still pass loving support both up and down concerning relationships, finance, health, and other important issues. It's a very special sisterhood like you have.
