I was e mailing my sis this morning, she still lives back on the island and I miss her so much. She is pregnant right now and is not keeping very well so it’s horrible not being able to give her a hug.
She is 5 years younger than me and an absolute wee star. She is tall, slim and gorgeous and when she walks it looks like she is floating. She got married a couple of years ago and she wore the most gorgeous red dress with gold celtic embroidery and she looked so beautiful it was almost like she wasn’t real.
When we were younger I used to look after her because I’m 5 years older but now we are grown ups (or supposed to be) she kind of looks after me. Sisters are funny because even if you don’t speak for a while there’s still this sister bond that doesn’t change, I kind of like knowing that there is this person who knows me so well and is kind of stuck with me no matter what.
When we were younger she used to nick my clothes and then when she got bigger I used to nick hers. Even now when I go home one of the first things I do is have a nosey through her wardrobe and she does the same to mine when she comes to visit, we are both kind of obsessed with shopping and it’s so weird because I have this strange thing that I do, when I fill a glass of water I fill it and empty it 3 or 4 times before I drink it and she does exactly the same thing, it’s bizarre!
Don’t get me wrong though, we are not one of these fluffy, gushy, everything is so perfect kind of sisters. She can be a right pain in the ass and I can be an even bigger one so we fight, we have some proper humdingers and we stomp around saying we hate each other (when I was about 10 she threw my Peaches and Cream Barbie ball gown on the fire, I have never forgiven her for that one) but we always make up.
I love her, she’s my sister.
I cannot wait for her to have that baby! I’m gonna be such a cool auntie!
