This past week Aileen has been with my dad at my uncle and aunts cabin. Having her gone has made me realize just how much I depend on her, and look forward to doing things with her. It hadn't hit me until recently that we will never again drive to school together and sing Taylor Swift at the top of our lounges. We will never pass each other in the hall and grinning, pretend not to know each other. We will never walk to Shelton's room together and talk to him about our futures. I will never walk in the band room after school, and see her standing there itching to leave. I guess I don't have too much to complain about, seeing as she will be living at home, but I feel a out of sorts, thinking about high school without my sister. I have always known the day would come, but now that it is here I don't know what to do with it. I guess all I'm really trying to say is that I love my sister so much. I'm so grateful for her example. She is one of the very best people I know! I love our discussions, and all our long hard laughs. She will blow everyone out of the water next year, (even if she refuses to admit it,) but I will miss our high school days. Good luck Leen. I love you!

Oh. My. Presh. You are too much. That nearly made me cry. There's just something about sisters that is beyond the reach of words. But your tribute is truly beautiful and touching, if you know what I mean. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't comprehend quite how much of a blow it would be not having you Leen and Lucy at school. I keep finding myself walking in the halls and hoping I will see one of you :(
