Today I am most thankful for my sister and her little family. The cool thing about having a sister is God gives you a best friend for life. She and I are 13 months apart. We aren't as close as twins, but about as close as non twins can be. I haven't always been the perfect sister to her, but she has always kept up her share of the deal. Regardless of the unnecessary pain I caused her growing up, she has a heart of gold for me. It always amazed me that when I would get in trouble (it happened a lot) and would have to get punished, she would cry right there with me. Guess when I physically felt the must deserved spankings on my behind, she felt them in her heart.
It makes me smile to know I played a small part in her meeting her soul mate, her husband. They have been married 9 years and have been together 12 years. Her husband is the perfect fit to our family and I am proud to call him my brother.
Thanks to them, I am a proud aunt to the sweetest, prettiest little country gal around. Being a mother is a pretty awesome job and right there underneath is the job of being an aunt. My niece brightens my day every time I see her or think about her. She and my son are 19 months apart and are already the best of friends. Shoot Little Man adores her so much when he sings his ABC's he leaves out J and adds another K for his KayKay.
