I have been thinking alot about sisters the past little while. I found out about Nie Nie and Cjane through my dear scuzin Shannon's blog and I have been hooked. This poor woman and her husband were in plane crash and severely burned in August and she has been in a drug induced coma for months and now has months, if not more, of surgeries and rehab ahead of her sooooo her sisters are taking care of her children. I have four sisters, Courtney, Brenda, Heather and Holly. I love my sisters. I love my sisters children I have reflected reading the posts on Cjane ( http://blog.cjanerun.com/ ) that I too would truly feel it a blessing to care for any of my nieces and nephews. I would know the stories of their mothers and could tweak them to my advantage! Right now I am feeling for lil sis Brenda. I got to see her in November (see pictures above of her kiddos in the hotel pool!) ---love those irrigators---and be in her home and play with her beautiful children and just be WITH her for a few days. She is hysterical -- and she is funny too! What a weird holiday this Thanksgiving will be. All of us together- except Brenda and her brood. We will miss her making us stay up way past our bedtimes (for Holly and Heather that is 8:30 pm the rest of us can last a smidgen longer) to play games and visit. We will miss her dragging us up at 4:30 am to get the day after Thanksgiving Sales. Come to think of it how does she function on such weird hours could she be part vampire? That would actually explain alot... I loved going to find the "Purse alley" in downtown L.A. with her....she was ready to kill me by the time we left, and still I am laying awake planning our next trip to that trippy, slightly life endangering spot ( why die alone when you can take a little sister with you?). Her birthday is Wednesday, not one person from "her" family will be with her, that hurts, she won't have Thanksgiving or Christmas with any of us either, that hurts too. But she can be secure in the knowledge that we will talk about her, think of her, toast to her and her family and she will most likely spend the whole day with dry pants--always a silver lining Brennie, always!! I love all my crazy sisters, my life is more fun, more secure ( you can tell your sisters anything and they will still be your best friend forever), and I miss you. Courtney is the only sister who hasn't deserted me for dumb towns with stoplights and ridiculous frills like that! More time with my sisters that would be great, but just knowing them and loving them is pretty good too.
