Do You Have A Sister?
I
used to wonder what it would be like to have a sister. I often wished I HAD a
sister when I was younger. By the time I finished high school in 1969, the
thought of having one was not something I thought about much anymore.
I
am the oldest child and the only girl with three younger brothers. The boys and
I never had any major disagreements. There were only minor problems, like who
would get to eat what piece of chicken when Mama fried chicken every Monday for
supper.
Another
minor problem my oldest brother and I had, was deciding whose turn it was to do
a task Mama had yelled out to us from one room to another. That was easily
solved when Mama finally yelled that somebody better bring her that glass of
water or there would be “butt-whoopins’ ” for the both of us.
Why
am I thinking about having a sister and, what does that have to do with the
price of rice anywhere? I’m watching the Crime Drama “Cold Case” and Lily and
her sister are at it again. Those two have the worse sister relationship I have
ever seen. I guess if I had a sister and we had a relationship like theirs, I
would not be a happy camper.
Lo
and behold though, my daughter Jordyn, is like a sister, now that she’s all
grown-up. She is the sister I never
had. What a wonderful blessing, it brings
happiness beyond my wildest dreams!
Do
you have a sister? Did you get along with each other as kids? Do you get along
with each other as adults? Did I miss anything by not having a sister as a kid?

ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteYes
Yes
Nope. You have siblings. That's more than enough.
An only child but my female cousins have been like sisters to me.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted a sister as well. I have a brother 4 years older than I and we had nothing in common growing up. I have two daughters and 3 Granddaughters and have such great relationships with them I feel like they are my sisters as well.
ReplyDeleteMy sibling dynamic was nearly identical to your's. There were three boys and one girl in our family. I am the oldest. My sister is the second youngest. We're pretty close and, in fact, I owe her an e-mail which I'm going to write after posting this. Girls are quite rare on my side of the family. My parents have no granddaughters, but seven grandsons. They have seven great-grandsons and three great-granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteI have just one brother and always wished I had a sister too. However, I then had a few very good girlfriends that I came to regard like sisters. Now, like you, my daughter is like the sister I never had.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely photograph of you and Jordyn.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
