My Sister


Does there exist a way that can properly convey my love for my sister? To accommodate for the distance between us that inversely represents the closeness of our hearts? To relay to those who do not see the love I have for her and she for me?

Because if there is I'd really like to fucking know what it is so I can show her how ridiculously rad she is!

There are things in this world we all must face. Things that threaten to break us down and cripple us so that we may never again be who we once were. Things that, if not treated immediately, latch on and leech our life as time goes by. It is when we face these things that we need someone by our side. Someone to stand beside us as well as prop us up. Someone to distract us while keeping us focused on what's important. This person can be anyone. It can be a lover, a friend, a family member, a pet, or even a total stranger. For me, it is my sister.
She is not my sister by blood but by heart and by soul. We are closer than some sisters can ever hope to be. When the things I face day to day start to weigh me down, I know she'll be there to lift my spirits. And just as sure as I know that, I know that I will always be there for her. 

And I will plot the severe, excruciatingly painful destruction of fucks who mess with her!

My sister is a fantastic woman. Although many misunderstand her, she is kinder than many people you'll ever meet. Even if she does not know you well, if you look to her for advice, she will answer you. She will look at your situation objectively and take the time to give you the best advice she can. Sure, it may not always be what you want to hear, but you asked for advice and an opinion, not a silly putty replica of what you're already thinking or hoping she'll say. My sister will not hide her opinion. Some may think this is cruel, but ask yourself which is worse: a straightforward account of one's feelings or someone who will lull you into a false sense of security, build you up, and then utterly crush you when you'll feel the most damage? The truth may hurt, but you'll live, while lies can scar forever. 

As can some images found on Google, but that's a whole 'nother subject. 

There are some things I believe God greatly desires to happen. Things that make him reach down and cause certain chains of events so that the outcome he wishes for may occur without a possible incident changing the flow of events. Whether it be something big like a national disaster or something relatively small like someone being accepted to a prestigious college, God may reach out and use His influence. I believe this is what brought my sister and I together.

That and a mutual love of Norman Reedus pouring beer on Gaga's ass. 

I suppose what I'm trying to say here is: Happy birthday, Girl! I love you!
