Sister Love

I cried at their weddings like they were in an arranged marriage and I never was going to see them again. So many people were trying to console me but I know that they were really thinking what in the hell is wrong with this boy(LOL!). During both of their weddings, many memories of the time we spent together raced back-and-forth through my mind. At that time, I could only think about how I officially had to share my sisters with someone else for the rest of my life.

Throughout my life, I have always been outgoing. But when it came to family, I was very private and protective because they are so special to me. We have been through many memorable moments like one sister drinking lighter fluid mistakenly thinking it was water.(LOL, It was funny after we found out that she was okay) Another moment was when my other sister finally lost all her weight in 6th Grade and all the boys wanted to talk to her. Of course, my mom immediately told her that if they did not give her the time of day then, don't entertain their interest now.

Unbeknownst to them, they are probably indirectly one of the reasons why I have not married yet. Their influence on me has been so great that I take extra care in choosing the women that I spend time with.

I am so happy that my sisters have finally found great men that can give my sisters what they deserve. One day, I hope that I can find the same in a special woman.
