My Sister

Over the last ten years me and my sister have had many rough spots. There was an 18 or 24 month period where we never talked at all in there.

But you know what? When things get rough, she is ALWAYS there. It doesn't matter if we are in the middle of a fight, she calls cease fire the moment anything of real life importance happens.

Like tonight. While we haven't been fighting lately, and have worked steadily to one of the best relationships we have had with each other, tonight she went above and beyond.

Way above. Way beyond.

Tonight I dropped a pillow and a DVD at her place and when I walked out I had two LARGE boxes of groceries. Enough staples that my grocery bill on Saturday will be right where it normally is. Enough food to get us back on our feet, giving us a fighting chance.

Tomorrow morning when I say "yes" to the boys when they ask for milk with their breakfast, They have their Aunty to thank.

And so do I.
