My sister knows things about me that no one else knows.
My sister, Kassie, and I had our tough times growing up, as most siblings do, but we mostly got along. I wouldn’t have called us best friends, but we could definitely be depended upon to come through for one another in a pinch. We did that thing so many sisters do, where we’d bicker and sling insults at each other, but woe to the unwise soul who dared utter one negative word about either one of us in the other’s presence. And yet I still wouldn’t say we were super close.
When she was pregnant for the first time, I hung on her every word about her pregnancy, absorbing it all vicariously and retaining the knowledge for when I would become pregnant a year later. I attended the birth of my niece, which to this day is still the most incredible thing I’ve ever witnessed. Though my sister is 3 years younger than me, she’s my parenting role model. She is an incredibly devoted mom, loving and patient, tough but fair. Whenever I’m stressed about something to do with my kids, I can rely on my sister to put my worries in perspective with calm, practical advice.
Sisters can also be an amazing source of inspiration for each other, pulling out each other’s strengths. For instance, I’m continually amazed at and inspired by howmy sister is to strangers. The Christmas following Sandy Hook, when we couldn’t seem to feel festive about the holiday, Kassie thought up an activity to spread kindness and love and lift our hearts a little.
