My sister sent me this picture today while visiting our mom. I don’t remember ever seeing it before, despite having memorized nearly every one of the dozens of photo albums my mother kept while we were growing up.

I was probably 6 months or so here, and she would have been 5. We were always very close, mostly, I think, due to the 4+ years between us. She was so patient with me, letting me follow her around, sleep in her bed with her because of the monsters, always giving me tons of love.

I miss seeing my sister every day. And even though distance separates us, and our kids keep us too busy to call as often as we’d like, we are as close as ever.

*Sniff!* I love you baby sister!
