I can remember the day I asked my Mom for a little sister. I was playing with my barbies and thinking "I wish I had someone to play with". My imaginary friends were a little boring. I recall going up to my Mom as she typed on the typewriter in the dining room of our cozy home and asking her for a little sister. Her reply was, "then you need to pray for one". I then ran over to the stained glass window by our Front door, bent down on my knees and prayed for what I know now as one of the greatest gifts ever given to me..........a little sister. The day my little sister was born was one of the happiest days of my life. I can remember my Aunt JJ bringing me home to meet my new sister as if it was yesterday. I ran up our dark wood steps and onto our ivy covered porch and looked straight into the window as my sweet little sister lay in front of the firerplance in a soft pink blanket. I couldnt get the front door open fast enough.
My little sister Lani has ever since been my best friend and in many ways a mentor to me. Lucky for us we got along well and would spend countless hours playing Barbies. Barbies was our relief from the world and in many ways taught us things about each other and life in a funny way.
Im thankful everyday for my little sister and I hope she always knows how special she is to me. If I grant one wish for everyone in this world, it is to be close to someone like I am my sister. She has been there through fun and hard times and is the only one in the world who can make me laugh until my stomach hurts. She has held my hand and let me cry on her shoulder and I am so greatful for the patience she has for me. One of the great things about Lani is that she will tell it like it is and help you see other points to an issue. Ive always admired her for that. I call her my little bunny rabbit because she is so calm and in a sense "cuddly" and has a softness to her that nobody has.
Lani is now a mother of two and I could not be more proud of her. Ever sense we were little, she always took on the mother role. Whether it be in Barbies or playing house.
This is my first post and I wanted it to be about my sister because she is so special to me.......
I love you Lani, no matter how far away you are and how often we dont get to talk to each other. Please always know how special you are to me!

SISTER!!! You are soooo sweet. I am so lucky I have you!!!! I am glad you wanted me, my life wouldn't be so filled with happy childhood memories if it wasn't for you. I watched Practical Magic yesterday and it reminded me of the friendship we have, they want to grow old together and we always said that we would live right by each other when were old. That is such a good feeling knowing that no matter what happens I have my sister. I love you Nicki!!!!
Hi Nicki,
Wow...Mom and I couldn't believe what we were reading. Is this from the two sisters that fought all the time? Well, part of the time. We sure do love you, so very, very, much.
Love, Mom and Dad
XXX-OOO
