♥   sister

(back)

Like all sisters there have been ups and downs... We fought like crazy when we were young, I mean biting and scratching fights! But we always played together, invented new games and loved watching movies and tv during the summer. We were close, even though we fought. When we got older, we were even closer and would talk to each other about the new things going on in our lives. The tough times, the exciting times, and the bad times.

I've been married twice. She just got married to her high school sweetheart and I hope it lasts forever. They went their separate ways after high school but found their way back to each other later on. I think they are a great match.

In the summer of 2007, a big crisis had come down on my family. My husband was arrested. He was the sole financial support for our family. We had three kids and I would soon find out that there was another on the way. I immediately got on all the assistance I could and I asked my sister to come watch my children while I went to work. And she did. The county gave her a paycheck, and she lived with us for a year. It was a huge sacrifice on her part, but I am eternally grateful that she did that for us.

She made a big difference in our lives, by doing that, and by being who she is. She loves her nieces and nephews and is going to be a great mother when she is ready.
