Growing up as one of 6 kids meant I was always surrounded. I didn’t have very much space to call my own. At one point I shared a room with 3 of my siblings, but most of the time I shared a room with my sister Angela. She and I are only 18 months apart in age, so of course it makes sense to pair us up. The only problem was that we had such different personalities. I was the shy, studious, neat girl, and she was the outgoing, adventurous, and (sorry Angela) messy one. We fought like cats and dogs, and to this day I have scars to prove it. Luckily we outgrew our differences, and I think we are much more alike than different now. No longer at each others throats, but best of friends. Last fall she moved here with her family after living far away for many many years. I’m still pinching myself with excitement that she and my other sister get to live so close.
These are her beautiful children. I love them like my own.
You forgot to mention your other sister that is perfect in every way and you have always adored!
Oh, and good job at those awesome photos!
Those are so awesome Julie! I want to blow them up, frame them all and put them on my walls. By the way, what scars do you have today from our childhood? I was such an angel, I can’t imagine causing you any harm.
We had some good times, but we fought like crazy huh? I’m glad you were always there with me, and I’m so glad we are so close now. I feel so lucky.
