About Sisters"A Sister is God's way of proving He doesn't want us to walk alone."~ Unknown "There's a special kind of freedom sisters enjoy. Freedom to share innermost thoughts, to ask a favor, to show their true feelings. The freedom to simply be themselves." "Sisters are blossoms in the garden of life." "Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers." "Husbands come and go; children come and eventually they go. Friends grow up and move away.

She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark.

Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child." “A sister is both your mirror - and your opposite.” Return to Index of Sister Quotes Big Sister“Big sisters are the crabgrass in the lawn of life.”~ Charles M.
