An ode to sisters (especially mine)

After having spent a lot of time with my sister over the past week, I really feel lucky. I know that not all sisters all close, but Cassandra and I are. She is my best friend in fact. She is the one who knows nearly everything about me. She can predict my reactions, finish my sentences, and feel my pain. And I can feel those things for her as well. We have our own jokes, secret language and maybe even some sort of psychic connection.

The love and friendship between sisters is a truly special sacred thing. I hope that someday my daughter is lucky enough to have a sister that she can share such a special bond with.
