PATTY MY SISTER....

Now that I have a few followers who read my blog you have to know that this blog is, in fact my soap box. Some things in life have to be screamed from mountain tops. One of those things is my unequivocal love for my sister. My sister, Patty, Patricia, sweet little pumpkin head. Very few things in my life stir such emotion within me like my sister. We have been through so much together. Long before husbands or children ever came into the picture, it was me and Patty learning about life. Let me tell you about her....She’s positively contagious. Nobody can NOT like her. She has a personality people would kill for. She's an incredible mother to my two nephews whom I love so dearly. She's vibrant, smart, full of adventure, honesty, exuberance and when you're loved by her you can't help but to feel lucky. She's the kinda person you pray to have as a friend and I get as a sister. She's the only person on the face of this planet that I can be myself with (bad or good) and she loves me all the more. She can always make me smile and we've had more than a few things to NOT smile about over 33 years. I have no doubt our relationship will stand the test of time. I don't ever want to know life without her. She has blessed me more than I can truly explain. She's my biggest cheerleader, as I am hers. She's the one to sign my blog and post how much she loves me when nobody else will. So I found some sister quotes that illustrate undeniably one of the most meaningful relationships that I will ever form with another being. Allies, partners in crime...we fought, we patched up. We've laughed at jokes that no one can understand. We've defended each other when nobody else would understand. We did some of the silliest things together and there's so many stories to be recalled when we are together it's like living all over. I can never spend enough time with her. Through some of the darkest times (Brodie's open heart), we became unexplicably stronger and bonded to one another.

Do you have a sister? If you do, you'll know what I mean. If you don't know what I mean then be the first to let the ice thaw over your heart and warm up next to your sister and tell her you love her. What can be said about your unbreakable sister bond!

• A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges and experimental go-carts. Someone to send on messages.

Someone who thinks you know the answers to almost everything.-- Pam Brown
