my sister

I was missing my sister a lot lately. We've never been too far from each other until now. We were always together during our childhood not always by choice. lol. I must've been a pain but she never let on. lol. Even when she went away for University, I visited often since her school was only an hour or so away. But having moved here to Michigan from Canada, we can't just visit whenever we wanted to since it takes 8 hrs to drive and a whole lot of money for gas!

I've been missing her very much lately. I miss our little dates and realized that we haven't done a lot of those in recent years even before I moved away. I realized we haven't really been spending time and nurturing our relationship. I don't even know if I've been REALLY there for her. In the busyness of juggling a job and my own family, I think I might have failed to take time to be what she's always been all my life, a great listener. And that made me real sad. Now that I don't just have her around the corner, I realize how much I've taken her being there for granted. Like I would have all the time in the world to spend with her.

So I'm going to be more intentional in my phone calls, e-mails and even letters to my dearest sister. To let her know how much she is loved, thought of and appreciated. And we're going start having our sister dates again as soon as I move back. =)

May we always remember to appreciate our loved ones while we still have them around. May we cherish them and take every opportunity to spend time with them out of our busy schedules. May they always feel accepted, loved and supported no matter what they are going through.

I LOVE my sister!
