Sisters

I am so thankful that my life is filled with with so many sisters.

I have my dear sister Krista who lives in Oregon and my sister Heather who lives in Colorado. We are very close. We tell each other everything and talk on the phone nearly everyday. Even if it is just for 5 minutes to make sure everything is ok with each other. I feel truly blest to have them as my confidants and my support. I hope they know how much they mean to me and my sanity at times. I also have my 18 year old sister in California. My hopes are to become closer to her and I would love for her to come and stay with me out here in Oklahoma.

I am the eldest and have always tried to be there for them. It is funny being the eldest. As my sisters got married and started having children they seemed to go through so many of the same issues as I had gone through. I could help them with the answers. They have been there for me during my hard times. The faith is a priority for all of us and I am very thankful for that. I have watched so many fall away from the faith. I feel it is important that we keep faithful people near us during those hard times.

Then I have all my sisters in the faith. I find it uplifting that we all have such different personalities and outlooks on life but we are all striving for the same things. I feel like each personality helps us through different trials in life. I am surrounded by many sisters here in Sapulpa whom I have grown close to. They each have given me strength in my time of need at different moments. I cherish each one of them in a different way. I am thankful to have them. I don't have any immediate family here in Oklahoma but I am surrounded by my family in the faith. It would be a much harder and dimmer life without all of my dear sisters.

Sisters are fantastic! I think we should gather as many to be dear to us as we can, blood or water. Some of your dear sisters are also mine, I love that, the strong link we all have to each other. Sisters are fantastic!
