This week we celebrated National Siblings Day by saluting sisters, especially ours.
Here’s to the toe painters, eyebrow pluckers, sweater sharers, glass raisers, belly laughers, truth tellers, cookie dunkers, advice givers, movie raters, book reviewers, theatre goers, tea sippers, football followers.
Here’s to the girls who roll their eyes, but have our backs.
Here’s to our mother’s daughters, our daddy’s girls. Here’s to the girls who call us up and call us out.
Here’s to the godmothers and bridesmaids, guardians and friends.
We salute the childhood sharers and smile wearers, the head nodders and joke fodders, memory makers and vacation takers.
Here’s to the ground strokers, free throw chokers, spiral throwers, skull rowers, ball hoggers, slow joggers, hang gliders and wave riders.
God bless the sisters, the links in the chain. Keep safe the sweet ones, protect them from pain.
Here’s to the sisters, the coolest we know. They uphold tradition and make families grow.
