this afternoon we threw a surprise bridal shower for my sister. the minute she walked in, i was hit with a pang so strong that it brought tears to my eyes. it was at that moment i realized that my younger sister was getting married -- the same scrawny kid who would tag along in my gymnastics class, the tomboy who would always be running full speed ahead, the fashionista who would set the trends. when did this girl become the woman i now know? in that instance, i felt both joyful and proud.
as one of my mom's friends was leaving today, she remarked how "it is so nice to have sisters," and i couldn't agree more.
